Assembly 2.0 Show Lists

Sorry to those of you who weren’t able to make the Assembly 2.0 shows this past Friday and Saturday and have been searching for the show lists. As I wrote on the Celtx forums,

Things came together so close to the show itself (the actors getting their scripts 4 days before the show, bands meeting the groups 48 hours before the show!!) and changes were being made right up until soundcheck of the second night (actually even during the show itself) that it was impossible to post an accurate list of which pieces were appearing in what form. But that’s part of the relay madness!

So here it is! What was screened and performed?? Dooo read on…

*Note: not every piece made it from start to finish of the relay. The Assembly shows presented the pieces that got completed with music, whether live or recorded, some with illustrations, some animated, and some theatre.
