Day 35: Meet the director!

Hello everybody!

Sorry, I have a little post-Tony’s hangover yesterday and didn’t do a blog. I enjoyed the Tony’s this year. It had a pretty good sense of humor about itself (especially some of the stars who weren’t nominated). I liked Sean Hayes a lot. Very happy for Levi Kreiss who rocks his face off every night in Million Dollar Quartet (I’ve seen him do it twice).

I’ve been pounding the pavement this week bringing some really exciting new people on board. Its really cool, each person who joins the team brings something fresh and new to the show and takes away something that I have to stress about.

So it looks like the Launch Party will take place on Monday the 28th of this month. I expect we will have our official announcement on that tomorrow. Expect a facebook invite. Not a “liker” of the show on Facebook yet? Click on the link on the right hand side of this page and join the growing horde of “likers”!

ALSO: Our job posting looking for Interns has gone live on Playbill.com! Check it out here.

NOW! Let me introduce you to our esteemed director of I Got Fired in the first installment of “Who Got Fired”
