NCDA in the Fringe!

The reviews are in! This year, the Conservatory's alumni committee is producing a show in Washington's Capital Fringe Festival. The show features seven alumni from the school as well as an alum director, and long-time readers of our blog may remember the post we originally put up back in March from opening night of the show. There are a lot of considerations that go into producing a Fringe show, and you've really got to be prepared going in. Our show, Late Bloomers and Glory Days, just got its first review, and you can head on over to DC Theater Scene and read it.

Fringe is an interesting beast for a lot of reasons, and showcases one of the things we teach here at the Conservatory: Theatre, and acting specifically, is about problem-solving. Our Fringe venue is very different looking even from the drawings we got beforehand, but especially different from the space where we already mounted Late Bloomers this spring. Between re-blocking entrances and exits, and dealing with the 95-degree heat inside the building, there were a lot of problems that we needed to solve on opening night. But we're all professionals, and once we fixed the issues confronting us during our three-hour tech rehearsal (normally we would budget a week at least), we were able to put something pretty special together.

So come out and see us, support the graduates of NCDA. We've got shows on July 19, 22, 24 and 26, and you can buy tickets online HERE!
