    Theatrepoems is nigh!

    Hey, awesome backers.

    As we approach the date of Theatrepoems, I am thinking of you who made it possible. Today we made the last of the 11 theatrepoems, and this might have been my favorite one (although it's possible that I think that after every single theatrepoems rehearsal.) The show you've helped create is raw, vulnerable, gut-driven, bizarre, eclectic, and awesome, and it's taught us a ton about making collaborative theatre. Thank you, again, for your support and your faith. You've helped create Seattle's first miniature collaborative theatre festival. There are updates on some of the rehearsals on the Nebunele blog, if you feel like reading about 'em, at http://nebunele.com/the-blog. I hope I get to see some of you at the show!

    For those of you who selected such rewards, your signed programs, T-shirts and DVDs will be mailed after we compile the DVDs once the show is complete. If you received a survey asking for your address, be sure to fill it out so we can send you your booty!

    Love, gratitude and respect,

    Alissa

    Faith, fear, and stillness

    Hey, backers!

    I'm still bouncing with joy that y'all managed to put us over the top. Thank you, again, forever. I expected to be sweating blood at this point, 12 hours out from our deadline.

    I wanted to share with you all the blog post that I wrote tonight about my experience with my Theatrepoems rehearsal last weekend: http://nebunele.com/the-blog/

    Check it out for a glimpse behind the scenes! I'm so excited to watch the rest of the creative teams wrestle with this beast of a challenge, and to share the results with you. Thank you for making it possible.

    XOXO!
    Alissa
