And the list goes on for the staging process.
Unfortunately, I'm terribly ill today, so that always slows a good process down.
However, I am currently searching for a space to perform. I have a few venues in mind and have gone ahead and started to contact them. However, I may have to reconfigure my initial ideas to just be able to find a space.
Ideally the show would be put up for one weekend, with a Friday and Saturday show.
I'm going ahead and contacting parties that might be interested in both participating or helping to fun the production.
I know some people within the theatre community so that is always a benefit.
However, I also have gone ahead and started to contact cultural centers around campus that might be interested in helping out.
Another important thing to consider is finding appropriate funding to put up a show. Even though it will be a very low budget production, there will be a high amount of funds that are needed to put it all on. Relatively speaking of course.
We will need a space to rehearse as well as lights to light the stage. The space may be or may not be expensive, depending on what is available around town. I'm trying to stick to the university community simply because that is where most of the actors will be pulled from. Convenience is always a factor in putting up a theatre production.
Also, something to take care of is contacting the publisher and potentially the playwright to get rights to put the show up. That is next on the list of things to do.
All the while, I have been going through the text with a fine toothed comb. Luckily, I am working directly with a Latino/a studies professor here on campus who has been a huge resource for my background research.
In the back of my mind I have also been thinking about publicity and what type of imagery I should use for any flyers/posters to be put out with the show.
I have a great amount of knowledge of who to contact to try and get more awareness about my show. Many of the cultural centers around campus as well as other theatre groups. Emailings, postering, and the ever incredible facebook to spread the word.
I know a few artists who might be able to create an interesting poster as well, who I will be able to contact and see if they are interested in doing some work.
On and on I go!
