As those of you who read the title of this post know, opening weekend of The Heyokah Project is over! I cannot believe how fast it went; it feels like just four days ago that we were running the show for the first time!
Oh... wait... we were...
The birth of this show was a painful, sleep-depriving, fight-inducing process, but now we have a beautiful new creation to share with the world.
Our first four shows have been delicious, and we have received exciting feedback from all of our audiences! Here are some of the highlights:
"I saw this live theater performance opening night. Not only is it worth the price of admission, it will stir your soul. If you live in and around Colorado Springs give yourself a gift and go see it!" - Isaac Ring
"Wonderful show! A must-see!" - Terri Harrison
"I laughed, I cried....no, no I really mean it! I laughed, I cried! Great opening night show! Bravo to cast and crew and master deviser Bill Bowers" - Jim Jackson
So now you might ask, "why is Sara still writing this blog? I thought that the show was finished..."
And we would reply that "The show is not actually finished."
I think that one of the most exciting things about new work is that it can continue to grow and change based on audience feedback. None of our four shows this weekend were exactly the same; we changed the ending between the first and second show, we changed the second act transitions between the second and third show, and we changed several of my entrances between the third and fourth show!
This is so much fun! Come see it! And ask questions and give us feedback! Your comment may change the show!
I'm sure glad the blog isn't over! Life after school wouldn't be the same without it!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear the other three shows went well though. The Saturday night one was amazing beyond words!
We can't wait to some back next weekend and see how it's evolved.
And I may be posting some more Heyokah-ish art here soon-ish
