When visitors come to Upstart Crow Studios there is always a familiar refrain, "We never knew you were here. This must be the best kept secret in Eugene". If that be true, Suzi Steffen of the Eugene Weekly, has single handedly "twittered" and "blogged" the secret all over town.
Thursday, March 4th, marked the first time in Upstart Crow Studios 10 year history, that print media has sat up and taken notice of the work done at the Studios. Perhaps it is fitting that the Eugene Weekly has been the rumor monger that spread the word about an organization that embraces diversity and the talents of the individual. One who breaks molds rather than fits into them.
Along with a cover story on the current production of Annie, Upstart Crow is also in contention for the Pepsi Refresh Project. A voting booth was set up for opening night and inserts placed in all the programs to get the word spread farther than the borders of Eugene and Springfield to vote for Curtain Call in this month's Pepsi Refresh selection. The people will speak out and hopefully be heard. We may be a small community but each of us has the power to be heard.
Thank you to the Suzi Steffen, Todd Johnson (the photos were outstanding!) and to all of you who have supported and are now voting (everyday, remember!) to get this best kept secret out there!
