Whimsy Town Director's Notes
Steampunk is a relatively new genre of fiction in which the story addresses the question, "What if the future happened sooner?"
A steampunk story generally takes place in Victorian England--when mankind's fascination with science and progress was thriving during the 1800's. However, in this case, technology has found a foothold at a much faster rate. This results in a story told in the 19th Century, but with a Victorian spin on 21st Century technology. It is a collision of two very vibrant worlds. I like how one writer put it. "It's like bringing a flamethrower to a tea party."
As you can imagine, all of this has presented strange challenges for the cast. Nevertheless, they went far beyond my expectations. They memorized difficult Victorian slang with British accents. They invested in a story built on an alternative reality. They mastered the art of prim and proper pandemonium. And they did all of it with the kindness and the camaraderie that I have always admired in all of them.
This is a group of talented young men and women, but what really makes them shine is their ability to combine their talents. The secret of their success is their integrity and friendship.
There are many, many people who deserve my thanks, several of which were listed in the program. But I want to thank my wife in particular--not only for her support in this whimsical part of my job, but also for help in developing the story.
Thank you Sarah, Ippi, Nancy, and Judy. Everyday I'm so grateful you invited a cad like me to the tea party.
