[As I continue to back post things we missed in 2018/2019, sorry that I say you can buy tickets when you no longer can! I wrote this in 2019. haha]
Hey pals!
So, I have an upcoming mini-musical in a festival! [You can even buy tickets here!]
How exciting is that, right? My work is getting put up on its feet!
I had the first rehearsal tonight, and I am just so pleased. The lead guy is so talented, and does such an amazing job finding all the nuance in this part. (There’s less nuance in the short version than the long version, but he still finds all I could try to cram in there, haha!).
The director is incredible, and thoughtful, and creative.
And it’s all just such a joy to work on.
Tonight, it was just the two leads (and NJ, the awesome director, of course, running the ship). First we read through the show and talked about it. And then we blocked the first scene, and I dunno, I’m just very happy!
I’m so touched and pleased that I wrote words that seem to inspire discussion, and that people are putting time and energy and effort and everything into trying to have these words leap from the page to the stage.
And yeah. That’s all I got for now! I know it’s a small festival, in a theater of 96 seats, so it’s a tiny thing, but it’s a little bit big to me. And I’m stoked!
