The Waiting Game

Oh Dear!  It turns out we have yet another month to wait before we hear from ipf...  July 1st seems to be the date and, having thought it was June 1st all this time, we're feeling a bit discombobulated.  What to do???   - when all our thoughts revolve around building puppets and sets and veggie catering and parking permits and coffee brands and (really, I could go on for a few pages here!) so on and so on...

So.  To keep myself sane, I say:  Hello Tumblr, I'm back!  Remember me?

Tumblr replies:  Uh, nope.

Well, hopefully we can be friends.  Someday!

Here's a pic to start our friendship up again:

Introducing... Part I

Today I'd like to introduce you to a very important member of our team:  me.

Ha!  Actually, I think I'll introduce you to Mark and me instead (a double whammy!) and next week I'll introduce you to Mary, Anthony, Ben, and Lori Nancy - some of the lovely people that you'll get to know as we go through our journey with August in the Underworld.

And here we are:

We look happy; and in fact we are!  It's part of our geeky nature.

We live in Toronto and we spend our time working as actors in theatre and film and TV, writing, making puppets, fabric creatures, carving, woodworking, drawing, painting, and taking pictures of everything that crosses our paths.  We have a production company called Marchlight that acts as an umbrella for all our endeavors including producing short films and plays.  Our latest adventure is August in the Underworld, a web series based on a play that we wrote in 2011.  

That's it for now,

Claire
