We've been maintaining our active theatre-involved lives since the "All About Faith" reading wrapped up on Jan. 28th. Greensboro Fringe Festival 2011 had us back and forth to the GSO Cultural Center several times. We saw both "The Couch" and "Silent Pictures" there -- and then a very fun production of "Dearly Departed" at Twin City Stage.
I also was involved with the Evening of Short Plays #24, which occurs at the end of the Fringe Festival (this year, on the second weekend of February.) My short play "Communication Gap" was chosen as one of the 10 short plays. So I got to be involved in auditions/casting with Randy Morris, my director, and attended the first full rehearsal of the two-actor script. I was able to discern at that first rehearsal that Randy and both actors (Artemis Jameson, also one of the playwrights, and Skyler Whitfield) "got" the concept and the show just fine. I didn't feel any need to bother them further!
So on the 10th (Kathy and I) and the 11th (just me), we took in all 10 shows -- mine was the production opener each night. A lot of fun, and certain plays (as is usually the case) impressed us more than others. It was also fun to see Myla acting in one of our favorites.
It has been an intriguing and delightful five months since "Conversations" opened -- two full length and two short scripts found their way onto a stage. Exciting!
