Yay! We're in the Fringe Preview Show!

A big, BIG thanks to Angie because...IMPROV CABARET IS IN THE FRINGE PREVIEW SHOW! The deal was after 12am on April1, the first 30 shows to email Beth Marshall saying they wanted to be in the Fringe Preview Show, got in. If you emailed before 12am or too late, no dice. and Angie was the one on our team designated as official call person. So, big props to Angie for staying up till midnight and getting us into the show.

Why is getting into the show such a big deal? Exposure. You get 3 minutes to do whatever in front of the local Orlando press. They write about the event in their publications and use photos from it in unofficial Fringe "programs," listings they produce of each show and the showtimes.

Also, congrats to Slothco and their show "The McGrawsky Files" for getting into the show. They're friends of mine who perform with me at SAK with a good improv show I might be making the theme song for. And slothco is run by Franciso, my director.

So, I have four weeks to lose ten pounds and put a production for the show together. I have a fully-fleshed out idea that involves a lot of things, so if we get it all done, it will rock.
