  • Feedback

    In olden times, the legends go, folks got immediate feedback on a show from a wild chorus of rascally audiences. After all, who else would enter those barbaric bathhouses of filthy lust and wicked whoredom such as the houses of plays?* They would cheer wi...
  • B-Roll-ing

    After taking the press photos, Tom, hung out and just shot as we worked through tech. (See some of my fav's below, and if you're interested, you can find more of them on our Facebook Page.) I think they turned out pretty cool and they're different than mo...
  • Wild Ducky Weekend

    Last nights show had a weird energy. I don't know if anyone in the audience noticed, but there was a definitely odd vibe.May have inadvertently pissed someone off last night also. There's a section where a carnival-y barker type of character is trying to ...
  • A Bold and Stupid Challenge

    "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life," but sometimes a bold and stupid act is just what is called for. Bold and stupid can get a woman to fall in love with you. It can change a child's tears in to laughter. It can be just plain fun.The revi...
  • Some Thoughts

    Opening went pretty well over the weekend.A few little glitches popped up, an actor tripped going offstage and landed on a carpet covering some cable. Oddly she tripped on the bare floor into the rug, not over the rug onto the bare floor behind it.She was...

  • Trust and a Briefcase

    Last night we moved into the space we'll be performing The Other Shore in.I love this play. I have for a long time. I think it is one of the great works of the last century, even though no one I know has/had ever heard of it, nor of Gao Xingjian.(pronounc...
  • A Pleasant Evening?

    My grandfather was a great storyteller. He didn't always speak much, but when he did he could go on, at times making most of the story up. But he had a tell. The twinkle in his eye and his knowing smile was altered a bit when he was telling the truth. It ...
