Treading right along

And now we've jumped to the middle of the month, but that's a significant time in the projects mentioned earlier. Tonight, we gather for the first time to read through and begin to rehearse All About Faith for the stage reading that will happen at Theatre Alliance on Friday, Jan. 28th. Myla is directing again, and we have a fine cast gathered -- four of whom were part of Conversations, too. I'm really excited about this opportunity!

Speaking of Theatre Alliance, we were there this past Saturday night to see Ken Ashford, Neil Shepherd and others in Looking for Normal, which was quite a good production. And as is often the case with T.A., not necessarily an easy or safe subject. Well done!

A few days before that, we saw our first show in the new Hanesbrands Theatre space in Winston-Salem -- and hope to see a lot more in that theater! We saw the No Rules Theatre Company's production of Touch, which was an intriguing play and generally, despite a carp or two here and there, a well-presented show, too. Well worth the time to catch that one.

I also was able to attend the first read-through/rehearsal of my short play, Communication Gap, which will be offered along with nine other plays at the Evening of Short Plays, Drama Center Theatre, Greensboro Cultural Center (on Davie Street), on February 10-12 (8 p.m.) and 13 (2 p.m.) It's part of the Greensboro Fringe Festival, and I will write more about that and other Fringe plays later on.

But the rehearsal was very reassuring -- the two young actors, and Randy Morris, director and long-time acquaintance, clearly "get" the show. I look forward to seeing the finished product!!

There's a LOT of theater going on for us between now and the end of March. But we are not complaining!!
