Updates galore!

This play thing is seriously conflicting with my love of sitting around doing nothing (Kidding only kind of), but some good things are being accomplished. Since the semester started two-and-half weeks ago (my last semester in college...you might need a tissue for that single tear trickling down your face right now), a lot has happened.

And by "a lot' I mean three things.

Just go with it. 

NUMBER ONE

The first read through of my play! First read throughs can sometimes be painful to sit through, and I'm glad this was anything but! It made a nun laugh, so I'd call that SUCCESS. 

NUMBER TWO

The New Works Festival program allows us to have one-on-one meetings with a successful playwright, for guidance, suggestions, and self-esteem building praise. The playwright, incidentally, was one who's show I was Stage Manager for last year--so it was a delightful role reversal of her working with me instead of me working for her. (What's that? Why, that's the sound of the tables being turned. SOUNDS REAL GOOD).

NUMBER SEVEN....I MEAN THREE...WHATEVER I'M A THEATER MAJOR NOT A MATH MAJOR

I have some really great ideas to help sharpen my play, and I'm really excited about it. I'll have a new version of my play by February 9th, when the next read-through happens. After that, rehearsals! 

There you have it.
