Yes: it takes a village.
I’m sure you’re sick to death of the faces of the production. I’m pretty sure you’ll soon be sick to the back teeth about the principals behind the production.
This post is about those who helped make it happen:
- Ruby our Lighting Designer-slash-Operator-slash-Stage Manager Extraordinaire – Ruby has a calmness that I envy, a presence that I’m pretty sure averted moments of hands-around-other-people’s-throats and huffy walk-outs;
- the Basement team who sold tickets, poured drinks and always had a sympathetic word or smile for a sweaty, thirsty, writer – Sophie, Charlie (no, the other one), John, and Alex – with particular thanks to Pete whose striking mop of hair and an abundance of nothing-is-impossible attitude got us sorted into the theatre space;
- our lovely ushers who helped out during our season – Abigail, Beulah, Christina, and Maaka;
- and our PR team – Kristina of Little Miss Publicity, and Qiane of Qreative Native – what can I say but AWESOME EXPOSURE!
To youse all: Fa’afetai tele lava.
