"That sounds like a good job..."
The next thing is here already. I have been very fortunate to keep on keeping on. I really haven't had a break in over a year. And that's a good thing. Just closed "Picasso" and have moved on to "The Balcony Scene."
So far this year is shaping up to be a year of doing really fun plays with people that I love. So that's a win. Picasso, of course, was a delight because I had Trisha and Rich and made some new friends. Balcony has me getting to play with Tara, Greg, and Bill. Some of the best people with whom to play.
I also get to come home to Little Fish for this one. I was around when we decided that doing Shakespeare by the Sea was so awesome that we needed to continue working together year round. And we had a space (albeit a storefront) and we had some talented people. And we did some staged readings. And then we did plays. And then we got a new space. And now we do 11 plays a year (in addition to the 2 Shakespeare plays we do in the parks every summer). I love our little theatre. We defied the odds last year by weathering the literal storms that rained all over our electrical system. We had a great season last year, and it is shaping up to be even better this year.
Balcony Scene is the story of a guy who lives his own quiet life in a Chicago apartment, when a woman moves in next door and changes everything. It's sweet and funny. And I get to play (as Tara put it) my facebook persona. The guy that is super angry and hates people. And like my facebook persona, I hate people for the right reasons. People in general, are awful. But there are so many specific people that I love that it seems to balance the scales.
So that's the intro to Balcony Scene. We are a little over a week in and things are shaping up. I have lots of words to learn, and there's a cool fight scene I get to choreograph. But we are finding out what this thing is. And that's always a fun thing to explore with friends.
