OMG OMG OMG...

Ah, theatre games. My long lost friend. It's nice to get back to really truly thinking of acting as play. Occasionally I get too wrapped up in the seriousness of theatre as work (I said that in my head with an overly important inflection. You can't tell so much on the blog because it's just words on a screen), so it is helpful for me to stop thinking for a bit about playing actions and making stage pictures and all of the other stuff I've gleaned over the years (one day, I will excise R&G words from my vocab).

I'm really looking forward to working with Justin on two separate things. In spite of having been together on four (Four? Yes, four. I think.) productions, plus shortform and longform improv, we haven't done very much together for some reason. It must be the clashing of our overwhelming machismo. Yes, that's it. Don't laugh, dammit.

Also, long live Basque! Without him, all of the rest of you would be without a chair to sit on. Just thought it bore mentioning.

On an unrelated note, I'm very, very, very, very preliminarily thinking of directing a Black Box next year. I haven't really given too much thought yet to type of play, but I am always open to suggestions. I don't have much time now to devote to reading plays (what with the directing one right now and all) but I've got a whole summer to do some ruminating and I would love suggestions on a place to start from.

I'm out like everyone in the final scene
