Fat Camp Update:
I just sent in an application for a grant to use space at the Flynn in Burlington to develop Fat Camp. This would be great because we would have a much larger pool of young, talented actors, which is what this show really needs. It would also give us a set period of time to create songs before a work-in-progress showing at the Flynn. Great way to get the word out! Let's hope we get the grant. We should know the week of Sept. 13th. Fingers crossed.
Andy and Rob have started writing the songs, and they are coming up with some great stuff. This show is going to be hilarious. I may do a little lyric writing, but I'm going to leave most of it to the guys. They've got great ideas. Writing the grant application made me really start to think and plan for what we need to do next. Until now, I've always planned to write it. Now, that it is coming into being, it's time to think about what we do next. How do we find actors willing to dedicate the time needed? What do we need for filming? How do we get what we need? How do we market the show online to attract attention even before we upload it? I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I like to have the path laid out in front of me. I like to know where I'm going next.
I am so excited to get some music under the lyrics I've been given. The show is growing in ways I never imagined, and I am loving the process as much as the product!
