We also had a lot of fun with the reading of Reunions. I've made brush-up changes since the reading, and hope to do some additional work on Act I, Scene II before long -- then see if I can submit it somewhere.
And while I intended to return to Patent when I last wrote, instead - coming out of a show I saw in Charleston and an earlier suggestion - I am working as time permits now on a full-length tentatively called Rehearsals. It's based in a small community theatre and is entirely meant to be a comedy, as a group of the regular suspects (to any theater person) try to stage a production of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband. Hopefully, hilarity will ensue.
I have to note that some of the time that might have been given over to playwriting in April and May instead went to editing and uploading my first e-Book, a private-eye detective novel based on my Jack Larson character based in Pittsburgh. It's been kind of fun finally having that story "published" and some people reading it.
Naturally, we also saw some plays since that last update: Kitchen Witches at Open Space was fun; the New Play Workshop at GTCC was, once again, quite interesting; Brad Phillis (who was in our production of Conversations in a Cafe) wrote and helped coordinate The Other Minos at the school where he teaches; and we saw Disco Inferno at Theatre Alliance. The latter, I fear, will not make my list of favorites.
Then, in late May, we made our seventh-year-in-a-row trek to Spoleto and Piccolo Spoleto in Charleston. I will report in detail on the various shows we saw there next.
