Tick, tick, tick, tick....

The time-clock is ticking. We can hear it. EXIT Stage Left is less than 9 days away from launching.

Can you hear it?

Post-production on the first few episodes are well under way, additional scenes are being written, marketing has begun and we are starting to hear from people, anxious to see the first episode: The Table Read, Part One.

A common question that keeps coming up, is what is the series really all about? Well, it's so much easier to ask than to answer, as the performances, the writing and the editing all have a big hand in what that it is turning out to be. The music is setting another part of the tone and every time we see more footage, we realize that the strength of the actors make us more and more interested in who their characters are, where they are going and what will become of them.

So what is it all about?

In one word - THEATER.

Not just the world of theater or theatre depending on which you prefer (no worries, they are both acceptable), but the theater that comes from individuals working to create something new, from the behind the scenes aspects to the scenes we are capturing, to the way we recreate the feel of an actual theater company (or our version at least).

Then again, if you ask Wikipedia, they would tell you this about theater, "[it] has existed since the dawn of man, as a result of human tendency for story telling. Since its inception, theatre has come to take on many forms, often utilizing elements such as speech, gesture, music, dance, and spectacle, combining the other performing arts, often as well as the visual arts, into a single artistic form."

So this time, theater is a web series about theater, and coming to a computer near you, launching Christmas Day. See you soon.
