Day 6

Plain Jane Theatre is back! Hot off their production of Wish You Were Here and last year's Fringe hit, A New Brain, we are so happy to be working with them on... Working.

Talking about the show, we landed on the idea that the marketing material for this show should really focus on the jobs, less the people doing them. With that, shot all the performers with the intent of producing 7 different posters each showing a moment in time of each of the jobs.

It was a lot of fun to put together.

If you want to check out the show, details are below.

Working

Stephen Schwartz (WICKED, PIPPIN and GODSPELL), James Taylor, Lin-Manuel Miranda (HAMILTON) and other all-star composers honor the heart and soul of the workingman in this musical celebration adapted from Studs Terkel’s 1974 journalistic bestseller- WORKING: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.

Christine Bandelow, Aidan Burke, Althea Cunningham, Kevin Dabbs, Madelaine Knight and Paul Morgan Donald.

It's Love and Other Reasons to Panic

This was such a fun session. We spent a lot of time with Elisa and Delia trying to nail the tone of their upcoming show, It's Love and Other Reasons to Panic premiering this week at the Edmonton Fringe festival. We love how this turned out and would also love if you went to see them in action.

Here are the show details:

Victoria and Rachel are an unlikely pair, and when they meet it's not exactly love at first sight. Victoria, not feeling completely fulfilled, leaves her relationship of 7 years to rediscover who she is and find her confidence. Rachel is a powerhouse with a bit of a clumsy side perfectly happy with being on her own and in control of her own life. But when Rachel meets the man of her dreams, these ladies lives will take a very different turn; especially since Rachel's new love interest, is Victoria's ex-fiancée. They say opposites attract, but will their new friendship survive being this opposite? Come and have a laugh while these two ladies try and figure out what love means.

Created by Delia Barnett (Send in the Girls) and Elisa Benzer (Letters To Laura)

Cheerleader!

Our hearts broke the morning we heard of the Roxy fire.

It became very important to help in any way we could. When we found out that Human Loser, the company that had their opening night scheduled the day the fire broke out, was going to be holding a one night only read of Cheerleader! at the Timms Centre for the Arts, we knew if was where we could jump in.

It was a stripped down version of the show but the crowd was enthralled. Here are a few images from the night.

Ligature Marks_

The Edmonton International Fringe Festival is right around the corner. This is one of my favourite times of year because the theatre scene explodes with creativity and photography wise, it really allows us to flex our design muscles.

One such project is Ligature Marks by What It Is Productions. I have worked with this combination of artists a few times in the past so I had a sense of what they were wanting.

This show looks great. I had a chance to read the script and it seems like a very interesting project.

Make you you get your tickets soon!

See you at the Fringe!

The Hollywoodland Burlesques

SEND IN THE GIRLS!

We were honoured to once again be in charge of their photos and promotional material. 

We're pretty happy with how it turned out.

See the other work we have done for them in the Design section of our page.

See you at the Edmonton Fringe!
