With the new school year (our Fall programming at work starts today) come so many new opportunities! I'll be working on a year-long project at work, as well as embarking on some extra-curricular projects.
This year, I'm going to dramaturg Speak-Out On Stage (SOOS) Sr. again, this time with a new director & playwright. Auditions were awesome--it looks like we'll have a great team of 11 seventh-twelfth graders. Rehearsals start tomorrow evening.
I'm also meeting some folks from The Inkwell, a company that encourages new play development, and provides programming for directors, playwrights, and dramaturgs. I'm starting work on a new play in a couple of weeks, and I'm hoping to go to a couple of master classes.
AND! The study guide for our first show of the season, Ferdinand the Bull, should be up on the web within the week. Lots of new things a-brewin'!
