Where've I been??

I have been remiss . . . and I would apologize but that seems silly since this should be a low impact-no guilt kind of thing . . . but I have missed it. I've been working hard; at both work and my play . . . never seem to be enough hours in the day, but today there are so here I am!

Things are going well with my Red Hand Of O'Neill rehearsing . . . actually I'm rehearsing on my own mostly, haven't hooked up with Wallace yet, which is just fine, I have been (as noted above) damn busy and shlepping into the city would have been one more thing to deal with . . . I hope we can get a couple of rehearsals in this week, but even if not, the main thing with this fest. is running the script by people to see how the show hits them. As long as I know it, and don't knock over the furniture I will get a sense of that. There are emotional depths to be plumbed for sure, and I hope to hit the mark there as well, but it will be interesting . . . of course, unlike last year's fest, this one doesn't have a summer performance to look forward to this is one and out . . . so I conserve my energy somewhat. I have been running it every single day however, so once this is over I will have me some free time on my hands! good news for blog readers everywhere!

Other news? There was a competition that actually asked for large cast shows. Nice. I sent That Lonesome Valley, which is ten characters or so. It's the one about miners on a picket line. Ensemble piece. Should be fun if chosen. We'll see . . . IN NOVEMBER!

Whatever, it'll be here before you know it. Also gearing up for a reading on may 31 of my new mono piece, and I may just send this new play of mine to the Abingdon Theater company . . . why not . . . it's only the cost of paper and postage . . . and I don't make these things up so they can sit on a shelf (though most of them do).

Nice to be back . . . I promise more regularity . . . whatever that means.
