Spent the first half of the day in Picked, which is a dystopian fairytale play that I liked to begin with but has gone from being an interesting concept to something quite a bit cleaner and more poignant. I've also gotten to know Stephanie, the playwright, better over the course of the day and she is a sweetheart.
I also actually talked to Seth Rozin for half an hour, and he e-mailed me two of his plays to read- now I can't wait to have some time. Also he wants me to come out to Philadelphia sometime when Interact has a show.
Back in Toymaker's War for the 2nd half of the day... I seriously think this play is going somewhere. The director does too, and I made sure to tell Jennifer that when it's available I will be knocking down her door to get the rights.
Also had a great metro ride with Lori Fischer, the NYU playwright, who offered her flat for when I come to visit NYC in the future and said she'll come out and see anything I direct... what a sweet woman. She wrote the Astor Place Starbucks into her play- and an event that is an exaggeration of one she actually witnessed in the Starbucks... crazy.
Tonight went with Jeff and a bunch of the playwrights to see "This Storm is What we call Progress" by the Rorschach Theatre- a crazy play with a fantastic set... although the play needed to be slightly bigger to earn the fantasticness of the set. I was way more interested in the set than the play for the most part, which was unfortunate. The acting was great though and I felt that it was a pretty unique experience.
And suddenly it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm performing tomorrow...
Happy 4th of July! I will celebrate by rehearsing a war play, presenting said war play, and sitting in the audience for another war play. Neither of which are American, but nonetheless. Then hopefully I will find something fun and patriotic to do with my evening. I am, after all, in Washington D.C.
