... Absurdities now has an official Hat Consultant.

Two of the short plays we want to stage feature a very famous hat wearer. Getting hold of the appropriate hat is kind of essential, I mean, we can't send our actor on stage with a substandard hat now, can we?

I asked a friend for guidance, and she was great and sent me resources. So I thought I'd give her a shout-out on the production blog.
Thank you Kathy S! You're a legend

Kia ora, Cordy (the producer) here:

Jennifer O'Sullivan is an awesome improviser who produced this year's New Zealand Improv Festival. Which was both successful and lots of fun. 
So when she said she was composing little songs by request, I thought: who better to ask for advice and a little encouragement, related to all things Fringe planning?

Thanks, Jennifer! You are amazing. Isn't she amazing?

Here's a cute little still from Rudimentary Entertainment's last outing, at the Shoestring Theatre Challenge in Wellington, June 2013.
We performed Michael Pohl's play Trapped. Shannon Friday directed; Katerina Schmidt was our Stage Manager and general organiser of awesomeness; Jason Tolley and Cordelia Black pulled funny faces (see above).

Link below to the excellent work still being done by the Shoestring team:
