Delinquent Theatre

DAY 3: Thursday October 28

3:00PM: After one last chance to run it, it’s time to go to Performance Works and tech the show!

7:15PM: We are backstage and ready to rock. Here’s what the boys have to say…

11:00PM: We did it!

DAY 2: Thursday October 27

11:00AM: We meet again. Coffee is brewed, ideas are steeped, and we are ready to begin again.

12:12AM: We’ve now had 4 pots of coffee and things are really coming along. We’re talking folklore, Old English torture, art, and… umm… some colorful content from David.

1:52PM: Lunch time. Thanks Uncle Fatihs!

4:35PM: We are breaking for dinner/quiet time/going to work (who works during TUG?!). Power break and then back at 9:30.

1:32AM: it’s half lunacy and half brilliance here. Live from the Delinquent lab….

3:13AM: The show is written and staged. What we need now is sleep and the ability to remember it all tomorrow. We end with a group photo, which reveals the state of affairs:

DAY 1: Wednesday October 26

2:30PM: Claire and David receive our prop from another group:

8:30PM: We are hunkered down at Delinquent Central taking revolution and change. Our supplies? Coffee, the Communist Manifesto, Halloween candy, and a ukulele.

10:41PM: Discussion has turned to ghost stories, mystery and murder. We are very intrigued by the man in the painting.

Good Morning Delinquents!

Today, and for the next two days we will be posting blogs, videos, and sneak peeks as we put together Delinquent Theatre’s entry into Theatre Under the Gun (TUG) as part of the Here Be Monsters Festival.  Watch this space for updates on our progress as we create a brand new piece of theatre to premiere on the Performance Works stage on Friday, October 28th!

The journey begins today at 2PM, where Delinquent delegates Claire, Dave, and Laura will meet up with the Here Be Monsters head honchos and the other teams to receive our inspiration package.  Also exciting?  Each group has been told to bring a wrapped or concealed prop with them to give to another group.  What will we receive?

After the meeting, Laura will relay this information to the rest of the Delinquent team.  We have decided to take 6 hours for us to reflect on the inspiration materials individually, and to bring in whatever props, costumes, music, text, or whatever else we find when we meet at 8PM at the Delinquent lab (which may or may not be just a garage….)

Watch this space for more news on our adventures – we’ll be working late into the night, so keep your eyes peeled!
