InterTweets are back!
For last year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival, I met so many wonderful artists on Twitter that I wanted to honor the medium. Thus with a few brave souls, I conducted InterTweets: quite simply, live interviews conducted entirely through a hashtag. InterTweets feel in line with the whole idea of a Fringe Festival as well as the live “anything-can-happen-no-matter-how-well-you-prepare” atmosphere of theatre.
This year’s InterTweets begin tonight! Here is the deal. Follow the hashtag #InterTwt and you will see the questions I ask via Bitter Lemons’ Twitter account.
InterTweets begin at 5pm and run until 8pm. Ask questions of the artists before or during the InterTweet just by using #InterTwt at the end of your tweet or commenting below. Let me know if you have any questions on how to follow.
Our schedule is below. Please do ask questions!
5:00-5:45pm
Andrew Utter
Conversation Storm & The House of Cards
A production of two short plays, Rick Burkhardt’s Conversation Storm and Charles Mee’s The House of Cards will launch Uranium Madhouse, the Los Angeles-based theater
cabal. Directed by Andrew Utter, the plays examine the sport of verbal sparring,
practical applications of torture, extremes of human cruelty and the fragility of life,
love and friendship.
