Spermalot...a crude, educational musical

Tonight is our first night that we are running our musical, Spermalot, off book. We are actually performing this musical in three different places/three different states by the end of the summer. Our first performances will be held through July 16th-18th, at the Azalea Ballroom in downtown Des Moines. Our very first performance will be a fundraiser because we are taking the musical on the road to the Minnesota Fringe Festival followed by the New York Fringe Festival towards the end of the summer.

I consider myself pretty lucky to be apart of this particular musical. I have always wanted to attend a fringe festival but haven't attended any so far. Now I will be attending two out of state festivals, with all costs paid. Also, the cast and crew of the musical have made me feel at home. Everyone has been pretty laid back and very helpful to each other. It seems like it is almost required that anyone who is apart of this musical needs to have an open mind and have the ability of not getting offended to easily due to the content within it. So far, everybody seems to be pretty easy going and I don't think we will be having any problems with cast members getting offended. Guess we just have to worry about the audience now. But then again, perhaps the audience should be aware of this before they buy a ticket to the show.

This is the second show that I have been apart of for the theatre company Theater ... for a change. The directors are David Brooks and Thatcher Williams. If anyone has any questions regarding this particular musical, wishes to purchase tickets, or is simply interested in learning more about the theatre company Theater ... for a change, here is the company's website: www.theaterforachange.com
