Deluxe Apartment in the Square
After 16 years in the Old City, the challenge facing Einstein Simplified is getting the word out about our imminent move to The Square Room on Market Square. Our first show there will be on August 31. On Thursday afternoon, Aaron Littleton and I were interviewed by Erin Donovan live from Market Square on “Live at Five at Four.”
Dave Snow has a contact at the News Sentinel, who interviewed some of us during a technical run-through at the new venue. Greg Wood’s article appeared online Thursday and is supposed to be in the paper on Friday.
The Square Room is a performance-centered venue. It has a larger capacity than the group’s recent home in Sullivan’s third floor Great Hall and a more extensive sound system (with more microphones) since the majority of the venue’s shows consist of live music.
“It comes with all sorts of bells and whistles,” member Paul Simmons adds, pointing out the dual projector screens on either side of the stage. The group says this will allow them to incorporate new aspects into the show.
Troupe member Frank Murphy explained that the TV screens and high-quality PA system might allow them to introduce a game where two performers narrate dialogue over video clips, whereas Sullivan’s setup didn’t provide them with such an opportunity.
The publicity tour continues next week when most of the group will be on Tuesday’s “Bowl of Oh!” on Knoxivi.com. I also gave it a plug while taping a guest appearance on a cooking show on Charter Main Street. More on that tomorrow.

How did the new venue go last night? Was is a success?
The show went well, in terms of audience size, tip jar profits and laughs! I was the host of “Party Quirks” and had the hardest time figuring out that Roy would say “that’s what she said” every time I said “you.” I finally figured it out when they got me to say “ewe” instead.
