    The time is almost upon us

    Just wanted to send out a quick reminder -- there are still a few backers who haven't filled out the questionnaire regarding their rewards. We need to get a list of the backers who are coming to the show to the theatre by Wednesday so they can set you up in their ticketing system, so if you haven't filled out the information, please do so soon!

    Oh -- and be sure to fill it out even if you're out of state or are otherwise not able to come. It'll help us keep things straight.

    Thanks! More updates soon. We start tech week on Monday... Oi vey!

    We did it!

    Our good friend Adam from Durham, NC just backed our project, putting us at exactly $3,500. Wait-a-minute... that means...

    We did it! Woohoo!

    To all of our backers -- thank you so much for all of your generosity. We really can't thank you enough for helping us make Paper Thin Walls a reality and putting us one gigantic step closer towards being a self-sustaining theatre company.

    We're terribly excited to be able to entertain you.

    That said, we've still got a solid 33 hours left to go until our project is officially over. That means 33 hours to see how far we can push the project and 33 hours left to get discounted tickets to any performance of Paper Thin Walls. Get 'em while they're hot!

    And as we mentioned before, we'll be celebrating our Kickstarter success with a 1.5 year anniversary party tomorrow, May 14th at Joe's Bar on 940 W. Weed St from 9pm-1am. Free cocktails from 9-11pm. Send an e-mail to rsvp@abrahamwerewolf.com to RSVP.

    Come join us! I have a feeling that we'll be pretty jolly around 11:01pm.

    p.s. Since we had a few questions about this -- your CC's won't be charged until tomorrow night, 11:59pm CST. Thanks again!

    Only a few days left...

    Rehearsals are going great. We started with some basic table work and then immediately jumped into movement and improvisation. We'll be focusing on blocking and deep textual analysis over the next week and a half.

    The dates of the rehearsals that we're letting backers sit in on are Monday, May 5/24 from 6-7pm and Sunday, May 30th from 6-7pm. We'll provide you with a glimpse of the movement and gestural work we've been up to and give you a chance to chat with the actors about their characters and the story.

    With that said: we're so close! We've only got 3 days left and $473 still to go. We'd really appreciate your help in getting the word out to any friends and family who love theatre -- or just want to enjoy a night of meaningful entertainment.

    And don't forget about our anniversary party this Friday at Joe's Bar from 9-1am with FREE Maker's Mark and Effen Vodka cocktails from 9-11pm. Everyone is invited. All you've got to do is send a message to rsvp@abrahamwerewolf.com and we'll put you and your friends on the guest list. We'd love to see you there.

    Thanks again and wish us luck in our final days!

    p.s. John has been hard at work on the set design. A sneak preview of the ground plan is attached.
