OUTwright Theatre Festival in Portland OR
This is what I've been working on a lot lately. And I'm damn proud of the work. It's been especially fun getting back into traditional directing. It's been a LONG time since I had a script *before* the rehearsal process. There are so few trans supportive stories in theatre, it's been a joy to help craft Consider The Oyster. I'm putting the press ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I find that I post here much more often when I'm either on the road, or in a different location for school/work. Now's no different, here I am in Arkansas, of all places, with a "fell in my lap" gig at the Arkansas Shakespeare Festival. Which I'm quite looking forward to. I explored Conway a bit yesterday, and it's a nice little downtown. After ( Read more... ) -

brilliant theatre
I'm not very verbal after shows generally. Too much to mull over. Frequently I'll have strong bursts of energy, and if it's awful, I can't wait to spew! However with art that truly takes me on an emotional journey, teeming with metaphor physical and verbal, I'm quite silent. I'm not poet enough to phrase my words in a way that truly captures ( Read more... ) -
Ironic? visit home
I've been in NJ for the past three weeks. It's the longest visit home I've had since college and the first trip planned specifically so I could be a daughter. My folks are retiring in the summer and moving, so they're packing up and clearing out the house now. Their realtor wants the house on the market by the end of the month. Cleaning, sorting, ( Read more... ) -
a night of truly awful theatre
There are few things I despise more than truly awful theatre.
Truly awful musical theatre.
If you cannot tell a story honestly while singing and dancing DON'T FUCKING DO IT!!!
And it sickens me that shows can be produced like this one simply because the producer/director/choreographer?!?!? is a millionaire (and a decently talented musical theatre ( Read more... ) -
A few things to note...
It was lovely performing The Laramie Project when hate crime legislation finally passed and signed by Obama. Almost every night we had a nearly full house that cheered when we mentioned this during our curtain speech.
Even being a part of such a wonderful show, I still missed the pro's at PCS and the production of Ragtime I said good-bye to. When ( Read more... ) -
Full Moon... {cross posted at Altar Egos}
Was a lovely, calm ritual out at friends this evening. I really appreciate having other witches in my life who are incredibly laid back, but always touching base at the New and Full Moons and Sabbats. We might not all get together for everything, but a lot. We don't raise a lot of energy, but there's a great generosity of spirit, support and ( Read more... ) -
ruminations on time...
So, we're in Chicago safely, had adventures in travel - not with the flights, they were great, but with the waste veggie car we're borrowing. Doubt we'll end up purchasing the car, seems like it needs too much work and I have no desire to tinker with cars, despite it's waste veggie wonderfulness ( Read more... )
