swan song

fellow readers and passersby,

fall guy theatre's production of the house of yes will be my final foray into theatre as a stage manager. i'm hanging up my blacks in order to focus on being a full time physical artist instead of a behind the scenes one. so, this will be your last chance to see me behind the scenes.

i'm hoping that my future work will sometimes crossover onto the stage in the form of props or set, but rest assured that i shall covet the cramped space of a control booth no more. i have served as a techie for a total of 14 years.

rehearsals are under way for fall guy theatre's production of the house of yes by wendy macleod. this is one of my top five favorite straight (non-musical) plays and i'm excited to once again be working with some of my favorite people! we're having such a good time that we're actually keeping a communal blog. i hope all of you can come see it, and i'm shouting out a big thank you to tmonsta for plugging the show and doing the preliminary leg work for a group outing to the theatre. word of mouth is the best form of advertising!

since i mentioned that house of yes is one of my top five favorite straight plays, i might as well give you the whole list. so, here there are - in no particular order:

house of yes by wendy macleod
a bright room called day by tony kushner
titus andronicus by william shakespeare
the flu season by will eno
ladies in retirement by reginald denham and edward percy
