Crash Boom Bang Theatre Did it for (more) Skits and Giggles 12.08.
Crash Boom Bang had an incredible turnout! The door was $930 or something, so that comes out to around 132 people…not to mention 8 tickets given out through GO! and I’m sure there might have been a couple of other free rides. Once again, the audience was such a pleasure and just fueled our fire. And during the Pussy Energy Drink skit, you could hardly hear it backstage over the laughter! I knew that would get the most laughs.
I always get super nervous before the skit shows we’ve done because it’s such a different type of material. Some of the original plays that have been written could seriously go to competition with nice chances at winning…however, with the skits, it’s catering to a completely different audience/genre. Sure, the two groups might overlap, but I think there’s still a lot of differences. But I really get giddy when I think of how we are creating something so completely original in this area…and it seems to be catching on.
The afternoon of the show, Channel 19 did a surprise interview with Jon and I about the upcoming show and Crash Boom Bang. I didn’t get to see it, so I have no idea what they used. But apparently they want to do something before each of our shows…woo! Mitch, a continuing supporter of CBB, works at Channel 48 and he’s going to also get coverage for the next times. Y e s s s s s s.
But now we are shifting gears. It’s time to prepare to build and create the Haunted House. Yep, Crash Boom Bang is going to have the best Haunted House in Huntsville…you just wait. It’ll be open during all of the weekends in October, and come Halloween Night, we are having an after part for the Dixie Derby Girls’ Bout that will be at the Civic Center (ie HUGE!!!). They are expecting thousands to attend, and then come to the Mill for the Haunted House/after party/bands. It’s going to be wonderful! Matt’s goal is to use at least 50 gallons of blood during each “run” of the Haunted House. I can’t wait!
