Minimum Wage's Burgerboy Blog KICKS OFF!!!

Hey Burger Mavens!

Starting today, we're officially starting our Burgerboy Blog. Each of our burger squad will blog everyday to give you the ins and outs as we prepare for our Off Bway run.

Heres how it will work:

Orwell: Mondays

Bradbury: Tuesdays

Piercy: Wednesdays

Hux: Thursdays

Titus: Fridays

We think it's a cool way to document taking our small show from it's grassroots to well...more grassroots. : P

And it will be interesting to see 5 different points of view.

So I guess I'll start with my rundown of last week. BTW, I know, I know...we're starting on Tuesday. I came home at 11:45 pm after a super full day of meetings and rehearsal and fell asleep on the couch.

It's quite amazing how fast everything has to move once you've signed that theatre lease and have your team on board. That's when the realization kicks in "Holy Gumballs, we're doing in this and we have a million things to prep!"

So I got to go down to our theatre 45 Bleecker St. and met with Louis who runs the joint. We had a great discussion about space for putting up signage and I also got to look over the place and see all the renovations that have taken place.

It's really gonna be great when they are finished. There is going to be a cafe/bagel shop in the lobby, with double doors that open to the street and there are tons of windows so it will be really nice place to hang and have a cup of j.

I'm happy to say there is TONS of space for signage on the building. 45B has two theatres and they are officially opening for business in september with our show...Minimum Wage and hopefully another soon to be announced.

So we discussed our signage, what spaces we could have, etc. I got totally excited by this as we've NEVER had a theatre that was our own where we could hang signage and really make it our own. So, I immediately went home and drafted an image in photoshop to estimate costs and how it would look visually. The image is below, but unfortunately cuz it's 75 dpi it's pretty muddy.

Ok. thats it for today. I'm off to Aruba Productions where we are interviewing all kinds of positions to be filled for the show, such as Stage Manager, Set Designer, Lighting, and more. then it's off to another rehearsal.

Whew. Gonna be another long one!
