If you’ve visited this site over the last few weeks, you may have gathered that we’re putting on a show (starts this Friday, 10/26, tickets available now).
This experience — seeing a script me and my pal Jeff Green co-wrote turned into an actual production due to the work of something like 30 people, with cast, makeup, sets, designs, props, music, lighting…. it’s been full of fun surprises.
The latest treat came yesterday, when several members of the cast released a video showing each of their characters during the actual alien invasion. Jeff and I had nothing to do with these videos. They’re grim and they’re quirky. More Blair Witch Project than Laverne and Shirley. And we love ’em.
How neat is it to see characters you’ve created come to live and start sprouting original youtube content all their own? A couple of the characters/actors even gave themselves last names. Last names? We had no last names. And now here I am, really enjoying the fact that suddenly a few of our characters have last names.
Too hilarious! My favorite part was seeing that Catholic high school girls in 2040 still sport the same look as they did in 1960.
