A Busy Day Before the Break
Today was a busy day for the show. In the morning we had our media photo shoot. This involved a lot of dressing and undressing in a space with floor-to-ceiling windows and one security guard who popped in to investigate why 3 men were dressing and undressing in a space with floor-to-ceiling windows. Once Tess gets back from her trip and has some time to edit the photos we took, we'll post a couple here for all of you.
This afternoon Addition had its reading at Nextfest. Thanks to Steve Pirot, all the organizers, the cast, and everyone who came out to the readings, especially those of you who gave feedback on the show. The cast did a fantastic job and we received a lot of great feedback.
I'll be working hard in the next few days to incorporate what I can before our main rehearsals start on the 30th. We have a 65-minute slot at the Fringe and right now we're running at 60 minutes. I don't think I'll be able to incorporate all the feedback I'd like, simply because of time constraints, but there are some great ideas I'd like to do what I can with.
Also, I want to give a shout out to everyone involved with Edmund and Cadaver, the other two plays that read today. Great job to you all and break legs at the Fringe!
Right now the cast are on a bit of a break until the main rehearsals begin. Tess, Amanda, and I will be working on script changes, unit breakdowns, rehearsal scheduling, media kits, photo editing, poster design, ads, and all that other fun stuff in the next little while. Not much of a break for us, but it'll be a great time working on all those things.
Welcome again to anyone new who may be following us here, through our Facebook group, or both! Continue to stay tuned for more updates and behind-the-scenes looks at Addition!

Pride Parade
Welcome to everyone who has made their way to our blog from the Pride Festival. Don't forget to check out Addition's Facebook group for updates and discussion.
Yesterday, we handed out mini-cards to nearly 500 people at the Pride Festival. I've posted a sample so you all can get a chance to see one of the things we've been working on.
In other news, rehearsals are going well and we're all looking forward to the read at Nextfest on Saturday at 1:00p at Conrad's Sugar Bowl. Hope to see some of you there!

Cast Changes
Firstly, congratulations to cast member Mark Vetsch who has been offered an incredible opportunity this summer to be part of the National Artists Program. Unfortunately this means he's unable to perform in Addition.
Secondly, what a great opportunity to introduce our newest cast member, David Johnston! David will be taking over the role of Logan and we are all very excited for him to join us. Our first rehearsal with the new cast went well, even though I accidentally went overtime, due to being confused about scheduling. I can honestly say I've never done that, but it will certainly not happen again. Thankfully, everyone involved seems to have forgiven me, so we're good.
So, yes, we are very excited to be working with David and incredibly proud of Mark for having this opportunity. The Nextfest read is in just a little over 2 weeks and we're moving on ahead!
