We had the first read-through of Big Guy this weekend, and it went pretty well! I think the cast is excellent, and the play’s not too shabby either. I have a bit of work to do to flesh things out but nothing too major. Nhaila, Jenn, David, Cherry and Laura seem like they’ll fit...

Here we go for the fourth year in a row… THURSDAY 7:12pm: Got to the meetup a little late; played a silly rock-paper-scissors game with the rest of the group; chatted, etc., as you do 8:03pm: The theme was pulled from the hat: Bears & Robots 8:04pm: Randomly, I was give the play #4...

So I got this out-of-the-blue message last Friday from one of my favorite performance groups in town, The Back Pack. They asked if I’d be interested in taking a crash course in one of their performances and getting onstage Sunday night for a benefit night they were putting on. Though I was worried about...

The fifth year of this festival is around the corner (August 20, 21 and 22 at Ground Floor Theatre). Always wacky, always stressful, always fulfilling. I don’t have a whole lot to say about it right now, but I did feel like posting my draft play here, especially with the Supreme Court news out...

It’s a hodgepodge of stuff! GIFT BASKETS So when my son and I went to see Nicole O’s fine new play about young womanhood last week, they had a raffle for a few different gift baskets. We entered and…. I won this! As someone who’s organized and put together prizes for events, it feels...

Another note to self: The show on May 19th went really well, my fears of low attendance were unwarranted (we ended up with about the same number as the last two shows and had to pull chairs from offstage to seat everyone), everybody had a good time, and we raised more money than we...

Yep, it’s here. Writing thank-you cards and stuff, trying to figure out whether to get programs together, and other information about the orphanage to hand out. Guess there’s some technical stuff to sort too. Whatevs. Totally not freaking out at all. So glad I stayed out late last night. No headache at all. Anyway,...

Here’s another note to self, and a reference point if I need it in the future; here’s the gist of the email I just sent to the performers: ********** Hi everyone. Here’s a little bit more and a request for short bios… {tl;dr: can you send me a one-or-two sentence bio?}...
Note to my 2019 self
It’s five days before the show and this guy (pictured) is back. I don’t know why I do this to myself. What did Amy say last year around this time? Oh yeah: “You do too much.” I can see it. My hands aren’t shaking or anything, so that’s good. Anyway, talent is lined up,...
