Y'all Know I'm a Huge Geek, Right?

So, when I'm not working on the study guide for Playing from the Heart (due on Friday!), and reminding high schoolers that theme does not equal plot or title, I'm working on a project with my friend Debbie. And I'm SO not talking about what that project is right now, so that (a) I don't get my hopes up about it, and (b) I don't admit (just now) what a huge geek I am. Suffice to say: if you haven't seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, you need to do so. Right now. Hopefully, I'll have some good news about my geeky little side project in two weeks or so.

So Much Dramaturgy, So Little Time...

Ha!

Since we last met, I've written a hit children's play (no, seriously, Pomegranates for Persephone went off like gangbusters) and finally gotten my MA in theatre history and criticism. Yay! I've also been able to talk my boss into letting me actually use my MA. I think my exact quote was, "I'm in debt to Sallie Mae for $30,000. Let me use my degree." So, in addition to my usual job description, I'm doing the following dramaturgical duties at work:

• Writing the study and activity guides for the professional theatre.
• Acting as dramaturg for the devised Speak Out on Stage Sr. ensemble.
• Dance-aturging the Imagination Stage Dance Ensemble for the second year.

I'm also going to be entering NaNoWriMo in November, and I'm prepping to be the playwright for IStage's entry in the Play-in-a-Day Festival in February. Plus, I'm already thinking about what I want to write for next summer's play. Lots of writing on the horizon! Very exciting.
