Premiering Tomorrow!

Addition: An Unconventional Love Story is premiering tomorrow night (!!) and it's incredibly exciting. This will mark only the second time I've ever seen a play I've written go up on a stage in front of people; actual people! It's an honour in so many ways. This is also the first time I've directed a Fringe show, so that adds to the excitement even more.

In light of the show's upcoming debut, I wrote a little note to the members of our Facebook group and thought it appropriate to share some of said note here.

I just want to thank you all for supporting us up to this point. It's very difficult for a new show with a cast and crew who are up-and-coming and relatively fresh on the scene to get any attention. To those of you who've been reading our blog and keeping up with what we've been doing, we really appreciate your support.

If you have the opportunity today, please try to help us out by heading over to the Facebook event page and clicking that little 'Share' button on the right-hand side of the page. Post the event to your profile and let your friends know about this play. The show premieres tomorrow and every little bit helps!

You and your friends can even come together! Remember, our venue, the Fringe Cabaret, is air-conditioned and will be serving alcohol before and after every show, so you can sit back and enjoy Addition: An Unconventional Love Story around a table with your friends, sipping a cold beer or glass of wine.

If you haven't had a chance to check out our blog recently, we've posted the last of our video interviews with the cast and crew, plus even more behind-the-scenes tidbits and info for you to enjoy!

To give you all another update, we had a great preview at Play Nightclub on Sunday with fantastic response! The audience was laughing the whole way through and more than a few people came up to us afterwards to say they couldn't wait to see the whole show. With an engaging story and tonnes of jokes about everything from the Jonas Brothers to Edward Cullen to Patrick Stewart to She-Ra to Dungeons and Dragons, everyone who spoke with us was looking forward to seeing more!

So, if you still need to purchase tickets, head on over to the Fringe Box Office (@ the TransAlta Arts Barns) or go to the Fringe Box Office website and make sure you've got your seats booked.

Take care and we look forward to seeing you at a performance!

Justen Bennett
Director/Playwright
