It's Coming! - I'm Not Sure It's Coming!

 


I don't know, I just don't know.  Trying to put this show together has taken 4 years and we are so close to the end of the finish line that I started advertising for it.  But since this past April things have been coming up in the real world that has halted production in it's tracks.  Real life comes first, always.

In order for this show to work, everyone who signed up for it HAS to be able to do every single show.  If ONE person has to call out the show has to be canceled.  That's because we are doing two stages and performing 14 songs in one hour.


At a normal show there is usually a filler song which is a song that's played while the next dance is being set up.  With the Sins & Virtues show, there won't be a filler song.  They will be back to back with the only "filler" is the introduction that Aryanna gives for the next set.  And that's how you get 14 dances back to back in the same time it would take do do a normal show which is 6 - 8 sets and takes about an hour.

So I told the crew that if we don't have the Sins & Virtues show ready to go by our 9th anniversary, I'm going to throw in the towel and show the dances we did have completed on our regular stage.  

But all is not lost! We are still trying to make this work and I hope we accomplish it because we'd be the first dance team to ever do a show like this.  Fingers crossed!

Why Karen Why?

People friend me all of the time.  They send one message and the next thing I know they are offering friendship.  Then I'd go back later and remove them when they are offline as not to "offend" them because you all know how that goes.  😭😭

 So like many others - because I get conferences all of the time - I decided to use my friends list and make an advertisement list for the teams upcoming shows.  In the past six months I've sent conferences for three shows, and I do it two times for each one - one for the premiere and the other for the encore.

Now yesterday I sent this message out like I always do with links to our program info as well as the LM to our theater.  And then this bitch responds:


She could have just closed out the conference, like I do but she decided to respond and plug the theater where she is performing instead.  

I have a deep respect for other teams and would NEVER do something like this in a public chat.  If you are tired of seeing these conferences from me, then REMOVE ME FROM YOUR FRIENDS LIST and be done with it, I won't be offended I promise.  I took the liberty of removing her since she has a finger problem and can't use the remove button herself.  I mean if you aren't interested in what I am doing, why keep me on your "friends" list?  

Karen, it wasn't cool, show some respect for the hard work that other directors do to entertain, it's not a competition.
