As we roll into season 13 here at Dad's Garage, I can't help but feel lucky. Lucky to work with such an amazing and diverse group of artists, lucky to produce such an awesome array of spontaneous and outrageous theatre each year, and lucky to have a whole lot of fun doing it, but most of all I feel lucky to have the best audience a girl like me (and a big group of funny guys) could ever hope for.
So, here's to you for coming out and having fun with us. For drinking our cold beer on a warm summer's eve, for eating our 6,000 pieces of bacon on a cool spring day, for staying out past your bedtime to see puppets say totally inappropriate things, and for waking up early the next morning and bringing your kids to see puppets tell fairy tales. No matter what we do, you're always there to laugh and cheer and have a good time right along with us. You make Dad's Garage what it is - a truly unique experience that can't be duplicated anywhere else. I guess what I'm trying to say is - thanks for being you.
And speaking of you, we did something a little special for you this year. For the first time ever, the entire Dad's Garage family created our new season together. This spring, everyone from our improv ensemble to our broad artistic collection of actors, directors, puppeteers, technicians, musicians and writers all got together in one room and forged our 2007-2008 Season. And from the laborious fruits of our loins, we bring you five original Mainstage shows, two new Top Shelf premieres written by the Dad's Garage family and a whole year's worth of Atlanta's most outrageous improv from our resident improv ensemble, not to mention a bunch of fun extras.
We've got some really dark comedy planned, a little stabbing satire, a bundle of unbeatable improv, and...zombies! Zombies that sing, no less! Seriously, you don't want to miss a single second of the goodness we have in store for you. So, please, visit the subscription page and start enjoying our hard work today! And while you're digging into our website - visit our MySpace page, join our mailing list, and get to know our ensemble and broader artistic family a little better.
And, as always, thanks for helping us change the face of theatre - one beer at a time.
XO. Kate Warner, Artistic Director
