On Saturday, the cast of Books on Tape was down at the SoHo playhouse for a photo shoot with acclaimed photographer Dixie Sheridan.
Another FringeNYCshow, Zombie Wedding, was onstage, wrapping up their shoot when we walked in. They were in full wedding regalia, zombie make up, like they’d stepped out of a 1980s Winona Ryder movie.
FringeNYC asked for press photos as soon as humanly possible, so we jumped into reenacting a few scenes from our show (that we have not yet begun to rehearse!). Dixie directed us, jumping onstage to re-position us and show us shots that worked.
She was tremendously supportive, laughing when we ad-libbed from the show and saying how exciting all the shoots had been. She promised us that poses that felt like overacting in still photography end up looking really fun and engaged. Can’t wait to see our final shots this week!
