Sneak preview from our tech weekend...

| No Comments
Hey folks - It's Anne again... The Inkwell has just made it through two straight days of tech - where we light the lights, throw the actors on stage with their costumes and props, and figure out where sound cues go in the two Inkubator productions that open this week at H Street Playhouse.  At the same time, Patrick Torres, Melissa Blackall, and the cast of The F Word continue to work through the script for the upcoming staged reading of the play to be held this coming Saturday.

Here are few photos from the weekend to show you what we've been up to and whet your appetite for these last events of The Inkwell's inaugural Inkubator Festival. (All these fantastic photos are by Melissa Blackall.)
