Christine is looking for short plays about Golf- I already suggested David Ives' Foreplay, or The Art of the Fugue. Any other suggestions?
Nicholas' production of Little Murders will now be going up January 2010. I'll be playing The Judge. Huzzah for acting!
Ordered my replacement camera. It may arrive by tomorrow! Would love to have it for our cast party.
I'm going to be doing Kathleen's Drunken! Careening! Writers! July 16th. I have 10-12 minutes to present whatever I'd like. Most people will be reading, but Kathleen said I could bring in actors if I wanted. But what to do? A 10-minute play? A selection from a longer work of mine? I don't know.
I'm supposed to go out to John Trigonis' reading of his new screenplay on Saturday, but it's the only time I can see New Beulah in the Festivity (which I hear is good, and hottie Nathaniel from that show came to see both of mine).
Sunday the cast of I Hate Love will be passing out postcards and buttons at the Gay Pride Parade. Then we're having a BBQ at a park uptown somewhere. Then it seems people are still going to the MITF opening night party (it turns out it's only $10 for MITF members). I might go to that. Might not get to Marie's Crisis this year, and certainly not going to Cowgirl.
Yesterday's Suckers show was sparsely attended - about 12 people, including Jonathan, Orion, Calvin, Antonio, J. Stephen & his partner, and a few others. As a result, the show was a bit sloppy and low-energy at first, but the cast rallied, and the audience was with them by the end. Some very respectable laughs for such a small house.
Jonathan (who'd changed his travel plans to come to my show) really liked it a lot, and was surprised by all the references to things that a young man like me might not know (he even recognized the Rocky & Bullwinkle reference, which I admittedly put in as a shout-out to On the Verge anyway).
Think Saturday's performance may sell out- get your tickets now!
After that went to The Workshop Theater to see From Russia With Angst, which Carrie had organized. 5 of The Workshop's resident playwrights adapted some of Chekhov's short stories for the stage. I found them hit-and-miss, mostly miss. I liked the one Carrie was in, called Joy, based on Joy, which was rather brilliantly adapted into being about a daughter showing up on YouTube.
I especially liked the final piece of the evening, Misery, Apathy & Despair, based on An Artist's Story, which was a hilarious piece of meta-Chekhov, poking fun at the tropes- three of the characters were completely in-genre, while the 4th had a more modern perspective. Was especially impressed by actress Sutton Crawford, who was in both pieces.
Some very impressive projections that subtly introduced each playlet.
Show ran longer than I expected, so I didn't get to Hold for the Laughs after all.
Gonna try to see America: A Problem Play in the Festivity before our 6:00 show.
