Hey everybody. I'm Kimmy, the Director of Kidnapped by Craigslist. I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to direct the show again. It's so rare that a director gets the opportunity to come back to a show and fix or add anything that they wished they had the time to do last time.
This time around, I wanted to embrace the carnivalesque theme more fully. Each 'tent' has a distinct mood and look - and the actors movements and music reflect that. I also wanted master the story of this piece. Because this show is a docu-play, it doesn't follow a typical story structure plot, however, it does paint a picture of society and how this particular forum, Craigslist, has allowed them to express themselves in funny, tragic, and heartbreaking ways.
These posts are well written, witty, and incredibly honest. I hope you walk away from the show looking at your neighbors, friend, lovers, and co-workers differently. Katie has put together a dynamic script and a dynamo cast.
Speaking of the little buggers. Here are some pics I took during rehearsals with my crappy phone camera. Looking forward to seeing you at the show!
-Kimmy Gatewood, Director
