Summer and Smoke, fun stuff…

Okay, rehearsals on Wed and Thu went very, very well. Cast is adjusting to the set wonderfully, making big strides in the life of the piece. Tons of scene work and polishing to do, but that’s good for where we are. Also, I haven’t given enough public mention of Tom Whalen and Aral Gribble, two guys in the show who are doing wonderful things with a guitar and harmonica, really helping me create the world of the play, which is a little different than the way Tennessee Williams is usually done.

Anyone who reads this (does anyone yet?) and is in Michigan, the show is in Ann Arbor, at Performance Network at 8pm starting the 21st of April (previews) and officially opens on the 29th. Check out details at http://www.performancenetwork.org, and come see the show – the cast is marvelous, and I think I’m managing to not screw them or the play up! Very much looking forward to the next week of work before leading to 1st preview.

This fun thing was posted on Keith R.A. DeCandido’s blog, and I stole it:

Your Linguistic Profile:

65% General American English

So apparently I speak General American English and a large amount of ‘Upper Midwestern’. Well, born and raised in Michigan, I’m thinking that fits…
