Farewell San Francisco!

Hey Bloggers!

As we head into our final weekend here in San Francisco, I think I speak on behalf of the whole company when I say THANK YOU SAN FRANCISCO for making these past six weeks so special. We had a great time here, whether it was hanging out with Sea Lions at Pier 39 or getting locked up at Alcatraz. All your support means so much to us and we're so grateful for this enthusiastic reception of our production. I just wanted to send this out before all the craziness started - we've got a lot of packing to do and I wouldn't want to go without a proper goodbye!

So, once again, good bye and thank you San Francisco - Seattle, here we come!

-Ben

We loved having you, and those of us who saw the show multiple times in SF are really going to miss you!! Break a leg in Seattle, and I look forward to seeing you again in L.A. (road trip!!)

I can't speak for EVERYONE in the Bay Area, but I know that I have really enjoyed seeing your show multiple times and wish everyone in the touring cast the VERY BEST!!! My friends and I would definitely love to see Spring Awakening return to SF in the future!!!

Thank you all for your amazing performances!! I hope you all loved SF as much as we loved you! I watched the show on stage and in the audience, and both were such amazing experiences. Have a great time on tour, and come back soon!

I hope you guys had fun out here in SF. It was the first time I watched the show and I instantly got hooked. I'm glad that I was able to watch on stage, as it was an amazing and once in a lifetime experience. You will all be missed!! Thank you so much.

You all delivered amazing performances, and I loved every minute of the show! My friend and I got to sit onstage for one of your performances, and that was such a cool experience! I got to see you all briefly as you were exiting the theater, and wanted to thank you for being so kind and gracious. Have fun in Seattle!! I'm planning to catch your show again when you come back to California, and this time I am bringing more friends so they can see what wonderful performers you all are!

I went to the closing performance in S.F. I thought the show was fantastic! What really inspired me was how many young people were in the audience. I was sitting next to three seventeen year old kids who were hanging on every word and cheering after every song. This show is turing a whole new generation into theatre lovers! Keep up the good work!

A bit tardy but I just discovered this site. I saw your show twice in San Diego. As a seasoned Theater goer I can honestly say only once before have I been so moved by the combination of the music, the words and their interpretation. The line "I shall read all their dreams to the stars" may be the most powerful line I have ever heard, esp to those of us who have lost friends. Sitting next to me in San Diego was a gentleman who at intermission informed me he had seen the show 85 times (he was from NYC. Some spell you all have.
Wish I could have seen the show years ago at LaJolla in its infancy. I have never written on or to a blog..don't even know if you guys read this...but if you do..thank you for your collective performance. And as you get older you will appreciate even more what you are now a part of. Safe travels.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can I send fan mail to the cast?

If you just want to send a quick note to all the cast members telling them you appreciate their work, you can email us here at totallytruckedblog (at) gmail (dot) com. I will be happy to forward your email to the cast, but to preserve their privacy, it is unlikely they will email you back (I will, though).

You can also send individual performers fan mail and care packages care of the theatre at which we are currently performing or will be performing. Go to the theatre's website (listed above), find their mailing address, write the actor's name as well as "Spring Awakening" and send c/o the theatre. Remember, we are often at these theatres for only a week so make sure to allow for delivery times. It's a better bet to send it to the theatre we will be going to next as they can always hold packages for us until we arrive. Letters received late will not be forwarded to our next location.

2. How Can I Audition for Spring Awakening?
From time to time, we have open calls in larger cities across the US. We will post any additional open calls here. Subscribe if you havn't already to keep informed. In the meantime, we've made it easy for you to submit yourself singing a folk/alternative rock song on video. Go to: http://www.springawakening.com/videoauditionsubmission/ Make sure your submission is less than 500 MB and is one of the accepted formats. Your screen should change and you should get a confirmation that says your submission has been received. Trust us, people are called in this way. Lucas Wells was cast because of an online submission!


3. How Do I Score On Stage Seats?
That is really up to the individual theatres. Most of them won't release the seats until just before performances because they want to make sure the house is sold first. Some do so online, although the ticketing systems they have in place often can't accommodate our unique seats onstage. Most of them are available only at the box office (though you can purchase them for a performance in the future). The Guilty Ones Street Team members have the rights to purchase these seats before the general public. Any seats left over will be released to the box office and may also be purchased as part of rush tickets (discounted, day-of tickets).

4. How Do I Join The Guilty Ones?

The National Guilty Ones Street Team is a way for fans of the show in each of our tour stops to help us spread the word. You will get access to parties, meet and greets, and other special events while meeting new friends who share your passion for the show, all while gaining some valuable marketing experience. You must be at least 15 yrs old. Email your contact info to nationalguiltyones (at) gmail (dot) com.

5. Can I Get Discounts?

From time to time, a theatre may offer us discounts to send out to our fans. We will post any here on the blog. Subscribe now!

6. Who runs this site? This site was created for fans to stay connected with our touring cast and follow their adventures around North America. Ideally, it would be in the voice of the cast members. Unfortunately, our cast members are often too tired or busy to post lengthy blog posts on a regular basis. Company members will contribute a post from time to time and every month we will have a compiled blog post that most every company member will participate in. The other stuff like updates, etc, will be posted by me. My name is Pun. I work for the production, love this show, its cast, and our fans, and I'm so very glad you're here!
