1/23/10 Yes, when the show is over I’ll be posting new material. I just can’t write other stuff while I’m doing this. Please understand and check in. If you’re in Portland–come to the show.
1/22/10 See what the audience is saying.
1/21/10
1/10/10 We’ve been hard at it and the Tech is mostly there! getting comfy on the set. We got an overture today! wow. Risers, chairs. Like a real theatre….
1/3/10 We loaded the show in the space. The lights are up. Tomorrow we’ll give her a workout.
12/29 Line of the day: “I don’t want my head in a vice or my ass in a girdle.”
12/26 Three more weeks. Terrifying and delightful all at the same time. Have you got your group together yet?
12/18 The new version of the music is on it’s way. can’t wait.
12/14 I’d better do this new choreography one more time before crashing or it’ll never stick in my tiny brain. But how exciting.
12/10 Tickets make GREAT Christmas and Chanukah presents. They always fit and the color is right. Fertile Ground Passes: For $100 you can get into EVERYTHING that’s part of the festival. (My show opens before the Festival begins. If you buy a pass from me I’ll honor it on the opening weekend of The Only Way Out is Through–January 15, 16 or 17–and you can save your festival weekends for the other shows. GROUP OUTING? email me and I’ll help you plan.
12/05 We had our first session with Choreographer Kerris Cockrell Thursday and that was a lot of fun (with a few creaks in the knewws the next day.) It’s another wonderful hit of seeing something that has lived in my own head for months now take more shape in someone else’s and come alive. You’ll definitely want to come see us rock out to the X Song!
11/29 It’s interesting coming to understand my own play as an actor. I feel like I’m looking at a scene from another side of screen with a vague sense of deja vu. I’m glad for the experience.
11/21 playing in props and costumes and NEW PHOTOS!! Take a look. That’s my co-star Cindy Lyndin, who plays Dr. Dopfelganger and Laine and sings like an angel.
11/16 It’s great to be singing this stuff. I’m transitioning from playwright to actor. And man, memorizing isn’t like it used to be. Just because those words came out of my head doesn’t mean they go back in so easily.
11/13 I have two set-rooms set up in my basement for rehearsals. The Clackamas Women Lawyers are excited about their evening-to-be at the theatre. Wouldn’t your group like to come? email me–we’ll tawk.
11/6 This was a big week as we started blocking rehearsals and got a choreographer. I’ve set up a mini-set in my basement and the props, they are a gatherin. I even scored some pillows for seating. I still need more tho’.
10/27 I should have 3 pretty scores now it’s time to cleanup the website. Time to put on my waders…
10/25 Have you “fanned” at the FB fan page? I’ve starting a discussion page on bringing your book group to the show in January. This would be a great night out and it’s not too early to start getting on everyone’s calendar. Special pricing for groups, meet the author (oo-wheee) and best of all–you don’t have to read a book!!! nochowfun@gmail.com–let’s talk.
10/22 Suddenly they’re words coming out of an actor’s mouth. And songs too!
