It's been an Albatross weekend!



I've spent most of the last few days and nights moving the production of The Death of Albatross further along its path. Filling in forms, writing and designing publicity material, editing promo clips, preparing for another rehearsal, managing logistical and administration interactions with not only The Sydney Fringe, but the Seymour Centre (our fabulous venue) as well, doing various calculations for all the fees that get added into and taken out of ticket prices — good thing I've got a terrific director, fantastic actors, a great crew, and lots of encouraging friends. I don't think I could manage this on my own. In fact, I know I couldn't. (One of the things I love about theatre is that it demands — and rewards — teamwork.)

Just a reminder: tickets go on sale on August 1 at the Fringe office. I'm really excited about the show, and I'd love to see you there!

In case you haven't been over to our Facebook page yet, you might be interested to know what some of Australia's leading theatre professionals have said about the play:
"...well-written and entertaining." -- Dr. Janys Hayes, Faculty of Creative Arts, University of Wollongong

"Funny, with great characters and a cracking narrative, the play cleverly addresses the very real impact of dying towns on their inhabitants." -- Anne-Louise Rentell, Artistic Associate, Merrigong Theatre Company

"I consider [Laura E. Goodin] to be an emerging playwright of genuine promise." -- Timothy Daly, internationally awarded Australian playwright

Oh! You might also be interested in a site I stumbled across that must have been put up by the Albatross Tourism Board, back before, well, before things happened. Here's the link.

I urge you to visit and "Like" the Facebook page to receive updates and interesting tidbits about the show (and about the town!).

Now: off to do some more Albatross work, while there's still some weekend left in which to do it....
