BACT Blogger Julietta shares her perspective on a special donor event during which author Nick Bruel and members of the Bad Kitty On Stage creative team spoke about the show's creation.
---
The Bad Kitty BACT donor event was really cool! Donors who
give money to BACT support them because they appreciate the work they
put into making a play. BACT gives back by writing plays and musicals
for the whole bay area to enjoy! Donating to BACT helps them to create
these plays and musicals for school kids who have never seen a play
before. Nina Meehan, the executive director, said that at one of their school day matinee performances, almost everyone raised
their hand when they asked who had never seen a play before. Even
donating a small amount can make a huge difference.

At the donor event, they had the Bad Kitty author, Nick
Bruel, the Bad Kitty On Stage costume designer, Amy, the director,
Benjamin Hanna, and Min Kahng, who is the one who brought bad kitty to
stage, talk about how they made Bad Kitty On Stage! The actor playing Bad Kitty even stopped by while on lunch break! Bad Kitty is a book
series by Nick. He creates a character by drawing it and using a pen
instead of a pencil so he isn't tempted to erase anything. Nick said it
was easiest to find what bad kitty looks like because he had a cat named
Zuzu who was all black, except for a patch of white on her chest. It
took him 9 months to make the first book in the series, and now it takes
him 6-7 months because now he knows the characters and what they look
like so he only needs to make up a story with these characters.
I had never heard of Bad Kitty before, and now I'm a huge
fan and cannot wait to see the play! At the end, I had my book, Happy
Birthday, Bad Kitty! signed by Nick Bruel, and I also got a Bad Kitty
mask signed! I was so excited to read the book after that, so I read my
book all the way home and it is one of my most favorite books now! If
BACT hadn't chosen great books like Bad Kitty, I wouldn't had known
about Bad Kitty and a lot of the other books BACT turned into such great
plays! I like that even the authors appreciate the plays BACT makes
from their books! BACT makes the best plays I know
and I cannot wait to see Bad Kitty On Stage soon!
