WATCH: Audiences react to workshop performance of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea"
Posted on: Tuesday, August 26, 2014
This April, KDOONS creators Rick Miller and Craig Francis held a public performance workshop of their new theatrical production "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. The invited guests, who ranged from Artistic Directors to families, gave amazing feedback about what worked for them as an audience. This feedback has been incredibly useful to the creative process and resulted in a streamlined new draft of the script as the production prepares for its production phase in 2015.
We've compiled some of the audience reactions in this video. Rick and Craig send a huge thanks to all those who participated in this process, for your time, and for helping an original new artistic creation. See you in the theatre!
And online: you can also visit the KDOONS sites that live outside the play but use Natutilus crew and other characters to provide entertaining outreach on current water issues as part of the KDOONS "Hydro Empower" campaign: NautilusLeaks.com, ScienceToons.com, H2Ocanada.com, PaddyTheBeaver.com, and GrandFatherFrog.com
