Crash Boom Bang Theatre Short Shorts Finale 12.09.
I’m definitely a bit behind on writing about this, but boy was it FUN! Over the summer Crash Boom Bang Theatre did a series of skit shows (remember this? and this? and this? and this?), and we had a big finale on August 26th. This show was pretty intense. We had a lot of filmed parts interacting with the live action on stage, so it was a challenge we all welcomed. Not to toot our own horn, but we did a damn fine job that night with hardly any technical difficulty (there was a bit in the final scene, but nothing that ruined the show or anything).
While it was nice not having to memorize a ton of lines, there was a lot of filming and production planning to do before the show. Of course the filming led to some great shots!
Rough plot explanation: Knucklehead wanted to get revenge against Crash Boom Bang Theatre for not inviting him to be in the Short Shorts season. He plots with S.D. Stubidge on how to kill the members of Crash Boom Bang. Thus begins the chaos!
Bill and Sara’s Death
We had a night of filming in our house…upstairs, where it had to be 100 degrees.

Unfortunately I couldn’t be around for every bit of filming. These photos were just the tip of the iceberg. The show had a REALLY great turn out and everyone seemed to love it. They laughed at all the parts we hoped they would, and got rowdy during certain parts (we looooooove our audience!) We did get one hate email, which was pretty amusing…especially because he didn’t stay the entire show, and some of his “critiques” were actually answered at the end of the play.
