I asked one of the actors how they stayed fresh and excited about material they were reading night after night. The idea, he said, was to remember that each audience was seeing the work for the first time, the actor always remembers that and does his or her best to give them the best experience. We worked hurriedly on the drafts of the play, we didn’t have much time, but it’s really jelling. I have to decide if I want to try and expand the work into a full-blown play. it’s about half or two-thirds of a full play now, although it is fully plotted, a beginning and an end.

I’m excited about it, I can add playwright to my titles now. Author, photographer, playwright. Poet too, sometimes. Cool.
