Building "the Show To End All Shows"

In which we discuss: Car trouble, Technical challenges, and the Very Magic of our en-light(en)ing designer...

After a couple days off during the preview shows, we chat about the opening, the cancelled first preview (gas leak nearby!), and getting drunk at Gasworks park.

Lara got her nails done, and we listen in on an authentic circus moment.

The show draws nearer, we hear more name submissions and discuss the finer points of airbrushing.

We hear a couple more suggestions for space names, as well as the thing Max said.

Random, hunger-fueled thoughts after the second run-through.

After a great run-through of act one we re-live another seal moment, meet the president of our board of directors and wonder why Terry is throwing things lately.

At band practice with lots of volunteers, we learn how to have a lucky day.

We hear some submissions for our space-naming contest, try some circus names on Erin, and suggest some things to watch out for around the city.

How to tell when Erin is about to lose it. A visit from Daisy Kangoo. Is it a coincidence that all the Theo employees are hot?

Sari and Lara chat on the long drive home about tour stories, potential porn plots and fabulous buffets. Noisy because we're in a large moving van!

A mere three hours before the first stumble-through of the show, we announce a contest to name the performance space in the South end of the Theo Chocolate Factory.

In a mellow mood, Erin and Lara discuss the concept behind the SHOW to end all SHOWS over Thai food.
