Sixteen down, nine to go

We took in Groups B and A of the Source Festival Ten-Minute Plays at 5 and 8 p.m. yesterday (Saturday), here in D.C. where we temporarily reside. It's pretty neat: they have a "talent" who works the crowd in between the plays as the scene set is changed, and they put an intermission in the middle, too. Some of the shows have been very good, and thought-provoking in many cases, and others so-so but still not bad. Overall, however, the acting in the first two segments has been just about universally stellar. And as always, we have enjoyed watching Andy's work on the lighting design.

This evening (Sunday), we will return to Source for Group C of the shows, after meeting Andy and Sarah for dinner up that U Street area near Source. Fun as always riding the Metro around.

What's also been pleasing for me is that the ten-minute play I wrote initially just for the exercise of it seems, to my biased opinion, to be at least competitive with most of the ones we've been seeing. Who knows, maybe even the 10-minute play has some hope of a future!
