If you’ve been following New Leaf, Nick Keenan, or me on Twitter (and if you’re not – how come?), you’ll have noticed the string of taunting little nuggets that have been leaking out over the past few weeks in regards to our season. As much fun as it is to build suspense – and it is – for me, this has been just as much about not wanting to explode from excited about what we have planned for the coming year. Doling out little pieces takes a bit of the edge off – but it still hasn’t been easy not letting this particular cat entirely out of its bag.
THANKFULLY the wait is almost over. This Saturday, August 22nd, New Leaf will have our first-ever Brunch Launch. In addition to announcing our 9th season of intimate, animate theatrical experiences, we’ll be celebrating all we learned over the past year. As you’ll recall, 2008-2009 was all about exploring one question: “How do we build a future from a present we didn’t expect?” We’ve had a lot to think about over the last year, and this Saturday we’ll have a chance to talk with our patrons and friends about all we’ve learned.
And Then – we’ll announce our next season and the question that’s going to guide our journeys this next year. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m crazy excited to get this info into the world – and I’d love it if you joined us on Saturday to share your thoughts. Here are the “deets:”
