Obviously Fake Missed Connection ad of the week…
“I Saw You”, Real Ads, Real People, Really, Really, Funny. Tonight, Town Hall Pub, 8pm.
USA…USA…USA!
A normal Wednesday for me is as follows: leave work, put the new “I Saw You” script together, go to Town Hall Pub, give the script to actors, run door, start show, drink and finally go home. Last week’s heat was determined to make sure things didn’t run that smoothly.
I went to Town Hall early last week, not wanting to swelter in my AC-less apartment while picking the new material to add to the script for the week. I would rather enjoy the serviceable CTA AC on my way to a frigid Town Hall. Seeing bartender Chris holding his hand up to one of vents upon entering, I had a feeling things weren’t going to go as planned.
A not so normal night, on a night that is never normal.
I think those that know me, know that I am not a theater romantic. I’ve learned that romanticism can go a long way in ruining art. Maybe it is my cliché Midwestern upbringing, but I what I love about theater is the grind. I love the work; the long almost unmanageable tech weeks, the frantic rhythm of the process. That’s not to say I don’t have times where I don’t step back and appreciate the more “magic” moments, it isn’t just how my bread is buttered, generally.
A Personal Note #1
Hi. My name is Mark Spence. I am one of the founding members of Bruised Orange Theater Company. As with any other storefront theater company I wear many hats; director of shows, designer of sound, sweeper of floors, and director/assembler/door guy of “I Saw You”.
“I Saw You” at The Spot. This isn’t from the show Chicagoist reviewed, but as you see the shows are of the highest hilarity none the less.
