Show two is even smaller but just as sweet. A bunch of adults laughing more than the children and Luke turns one of the letters into a mother’s day letter.
After the show we chat to Steve the Program Manager who says they were trying an experiment. Kids’ shows on the weekend. They don’t usually do it. They either program kids’ shows for a school holiday audiences or weekdays for schools. During term-time weekends, everyone’s already at sport. He says he won’t do it that way again. He loved the show and wants to have us back next year. Gold stars for us.
Steve tells us to check out the art gallery so we do before we leave and I have a moment in front of a sculpture. Like being in the presence of death. Or life. I am made silent. Here is a photo. It gives you something like the sculpture.
We wander around Shep. Find the fryers café and drink coffee and talk touring. All the ways we could be lining up tours, for Bubblewrap again and for Kapow. How to get paid to administer it - Christy wants an office and a big map. We talk funding applications, caravan parks, if we want to do Adelaide Fringe next year and what venue would work for us if we did. We all agree that the good thing about doing Adelaide is seeing a whole bunch of shows and getting to make friends with all the folk making them. The café staff pump up Neil Young real loud for clean up time and we laugh when they suddenly realise we are still here and apologise
Come back to the hotel and make an exhaustive list of all the funding we could possibly apply for this year. Work until 10:30 at night on our Showcase Victoria pitch.
