from nattienatnat:

I would like to know what is on your short list and what is on Pro Rata's short list. :)
It's like a short bus, but different.

The List changes often, but at the moment (and I don't think I can differentiate between my list and Pro Rata's list):

the nows:
Killer Joe, by Tracy Letts
Galileo, by Brecht

the sooners:
Assassins, by Sondheim

Where is this Sam Shepard I keep hearing about??

[carinbrat]

Qua?

[nattienatnat]

Well, we were out at the Tower and I said something about Buried Child and you said (excitedly), "that's on Pro Rata's short list". Now I have said list and it is nowhere to be found. I guess I'll blame it on the cocktails. ;)

Good list, nonetheless.

[carinbrat]

Ah, yes.
I think I was musing about that at one point...
On The List!!!

"another Shakespeare, maybe Shrew? But only if I get another director and play Kate myself."

I'd pay good $$$ to see that one!

[carinbrat]

I AM rather shrewish, aren't I?

[mistoffo]

I think the term is 'shrewd'.

[onanrulz]

"an Ibsen"

"En folkefiende" for the win!

[carinbrat]

That is totally my first choice!!
But I think I heard someone did it recently, or is doing it...?

[onanrulz]

A cursory Google search shows that a Norwegian film version was submitted to a 2006 St. Paul film festival, so unless there's underground rumors from other companies about an upcoming production, you should claim this in the name of Pro Rata!

Also, we gots to get writing, Bup!

[carinbrat]

I swear I remember hearing recently that someone was planning on doing it and thinking, 'boo... I wanted to do that.'

Maybe it was the crack baby talking, though.

...

Yes. Yes, you do need to get writing.
Don't suck.

[clennieg]

Ooooh, Shrew!! Next best idea: direct and let the other Carin play Kate. :)

Remember my lover affairs with Kates? She's one of them.

[carinbrat]

That's not a bad idea, although if I'm going to be ballsy enough to tread the boards again, I'm gonna make it count.

We do need to find something for you, though... Pitch me an idea!!

Actually, have you read The Late Henry Moss (by Shepard)? It seems way more like a TPR show than Child, and I think it's a better play, myself. Also, not been done anywhere in town.

[carinbrat]

Ooo... do you have a copy?

[bigpenguin]

But of course....

[carinbrat]

Sweet.
I call dibs.
