Dennis' Liken Blog: Soundstage Shopping

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/soundstage-shopping.html

Friday, November 14, 2008. With the long lay-off between Likens, however, it didn't make sense to keep renting the warehouse space. So we moved all the walls, props and costumes to off-site storage, which costs about a tenth as much as the warehouse space. An appealing possibility. We still need to check out a couple more options before we firm up those arrangements, but it looks like we will be heading north to film "Jonah.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dennis' Liken Blog: "Jonah" leaps off the page

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/jonah-leaps-off-page.html

Saturday, January 24, 2009. Jonah" leaps off the page. At a middle school in the middle of January 2009, the Liken version of “Jonah” made the leap off the page into the real world as we staged our first-ever public read-through of a script. Our plan here was to assemble a top quality cast, rehearse it for a few hours, then listen to them perform the entire script, including songs, with a small audience. Then we’d assess how it went, make some revisions, then try it again about a month later wi...But bac...

Dennis' Liken Blog: In Awe of Auditioners

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/in-awe-of-auditioners.html

Sunday, January 04, 2009. In Awe of Auditioners. I have the utmost respect and admiration for those who willingly subject themselves to that most hideous of tortures called The Audition. The Marquis de Stage? Whenever anyone comes to audition for Liken, I try to imagine that he or she is a family member. Treat them with respect. Express appreciation for their time. Find something positive to compliment. Let them know what’s next. Takes a little longer doing it this way, but it f...After conducting perhap...

Dennis' Liken Blog: March 2007

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 18, 2007. So off I went. Met a bunch of talented people. Cherie Call continues to blow me away with her beautiful songs. I love her voice, too. Mindy Gledhill shared a couple of songs she's working on for her next album. Great voice, cool songs. Lots of up and comers were there as well. Not sure I'll ever actually write a song. But I woke up this morning with a song idea whirling around my brain. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Dennis' Liken Blog: September 2007

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 12, 2007. Still fighting the good fight. Oops, time got away from me a little. Okay, a whole summer, pretty much, since my last blog entry. Been busy, but things are moving along in a good direction. We're not there yet, but I think we're pointed in the right direction. Our Bible titles were just awarded the Dove Foundations seal of approval. They said many nice things about them, and awarded two of the four five "doves," the highest rating they can award.

Dennis' Liken Blog: May 2007

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 27, 2007. But here's the trick. We first need to expand our audience base. We've focused so much on producing titles, but now feel the need to devote ourselves to connecting those titles with the audience base that we believe is out there and would welcome the series into their homes if they only knew about it. The challenge is how to get them to know about it. But each of us is devoted to doing everything we can to establish a broader base for the series so that we can get back to making more.

Dennis' Liken Blog: October 2008

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 26, 2008. Okay, there was a little gap in posting there. Been so long I couldn't even remember how to log in. So let me turn to the matter of starting a brief catch up on activities since my last post. To further complicate matters, we had our offices remodeled, so we had to clear out of them for about six weeks. And where did we move in the interim? To the warehouse space that we were in the process of relocating. Very tight quarters, and pretty much chaos during that period.

Sunday, January 21, 2007. CeranAid and LDS Film Fest. The CeranAid concert was a pleasure to attend. There were probably 750 or so in attendance. The hall maxes out at 1,000. It would've been nice to sell it out for the Cerans, but it felt and looked like a full house, so the energy was good. I wrote and submitted an article on the Cerans for Meridian Magazine. It can be found here: http:/ www.ldsmag.com/churchupdate/070115ceran.html. Sunday, January 07, 2007. The concert will be held Thursday evening, J...

Dennis' Liken Blog: April 2007

http://likenblog.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 28, 2007. Christmas thoughts come early. I finished an adaptation of "The First Christmas" for the stage too late last year for any group to be able to have enough time to put it on. Determined to start letting people know about it a little sooner in the year, we announced a few weeks ago that we were looking for 12 brave church groups willing to be part of the inaugural run of this production. Currently, these 28 groups are reviewing a draft copy of the script. One group, a church in...
