Late last night I got a chance to see a great show – 1/2 hour long experimental piece directed by Lynn Lammers, starring Aaron Rossini and others. Very fun. By the time I got back, I was in a much better mood than I had been when I posted my ranting entry earlier in the evening! The Performance Networks second space, The Most Pit, is a fun place to see a show. Only about 40 seats, you’re right on top of the actors, very black-box underground feel. Good energy to the show, which was based on the Grimm’s fairy tale “The Golden Goose” but written thru improv and experimental games in rehearsals. Nice job.

Coming up tomorrow: The Williamston Theatre Project’s first big event. Very excited. I think we’ve got a chance to make something really wonderful happen, and things are coming together. As we gather supporters and backers and momentum it’s getting more and more exciting. Taking a group of nearly 50 people interested in the project to the country club in Williamston for drinks and snacks, introduction of us and the project, then taking them to see BUS STOP at The Purple Rose in Chelsea, as an example of the size/type theatre space we’d like to make, and as an example of what good, intimate theatre can do to an audience. Then see if they want to help us bring that to Williamston! This is the first step in a whole series of events that hopefully will lead to an explosion of support and backing!

AND: Lined up a great cast for the WTP reading of ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS in June at the Michigan Theatre Festival. Suzi Regan, John Lepard, Joey Albright and Aaron Moore will be my cast. Excellent.

AND! Almost as important: The Tigers went 4-2 on their road trip. Against the Angels and the Rangers, two tough teams. Go team!
