Raconteur Theatre Company

Well, the hits just keep on coming. Check out the latest trailer for After the Afterglow, this time featuring scenes from Roulette!

To watch the trailer click here.

We open in less than a week!

No, not the kind you attach to the back of a truck. Or the kind that bigger stars get to retreat to when they’re pissed. More like the ones you sit and watch while waiting for your movie to start.

Well, we’ve got ‘em.

Check out the first trailer for Aster, Holger Gunn!

Check back next week for the trailer for Roulette!

No, not a command. A statement. Raconteur Theatre seems to be having an odd relationship with ducks lately. What do I mean? Well, we have a character named Duck in Aster, Holger Gunn. And he’s an odd little guy. (Well, not that little, really. He’s well over six feet) Central to the plot, and fascinating, but odd.

But then this past weekend, members of the board and affiliated folks all went out to Gallery Hop in the Short North to pass out ducks. Ducks with our website on them. While wearing inflatable ducks.

It was a tremendous amount of fun, and it helped us to spread the word about the theatre. The main things we learned?

1) If you’re a part of a group of people wearing inflatable duck floatation devices, people will talk to you.
2) If you’re passing out ducks to people on High Street, 100 ducks won’t last very long.
3) It gets cold really quickly in the evenings in May.

The duck experiment was enough of a success that we’ll be out passing ducks once again in the near future. Stay tuned!

Wednesday will mark the first ever rehearsal held for Raconteur Theatre Company!  It’s going to be a busy one.  The casts and directors for both one acts will be meeting, and we will be covering the following bases:

-introductions of all present

-read thru of each show

-actor headshots and publicity photos taken

-bios collected

-costume measurements taken

Hopefully we will be videoing the rehearsal as well in order to post some of the fun for you on our website (assuming some fun is had!).  Keep an eye out for updated actor info off our current show page and for video of this rehearsal and upcoming guerrilla marketing stunts!

With endless tasks to tackle,

Jill
