Ack! I'm so disappointed. I just heard from the Vancouver producer that their venue for the previews in July fell through. It looks like there may not be a preview for the show before the gang head to Edinburgh for their run. Sadly, this is the reality of theatre these days; hard working artists trying to put on a show and never having enough money to get the little extras. The previews weren't necessary, but they'd help give confidence to the cast and crew before they headed to the international festival. What was the sticking point? I heard the venue was charging more than the group could afford. Sigh... it's a recession, I know... but if sponsors aren't kicking up the money to pay for a venue's operating costs, why gouge poor artists who are just trying to put on a show? I'm cranky now.
