Typewriters are fun to break

Ahhh. Last night was interesting. Jon and I realized we really do have some serious problems with lines and the sequence of our lines, which always makes for an entertaining rehearsal. Also, I finally got to beat the shit out of a typewriter. That was fun. Still not sure about shrapnel flying into the audience. We may have to do a tarp like Gallagher used to have for the front row at his concerts.

We did have a few more "a-ha" moments, I think, which is fun. Shawn still hasn't recast either of us (to our knowledge), so I suppose he's still feeling semi-ok about things. This is a tough show. We could have 2 more months of rehearsal and still not get every drop out of this script. But we're making choices and trying to flesh them out. As long as we commit one way or another, we feel like we're doing the words justice. The worst thing would be to just kind of float along through it.

Anyway, buy your tickets! First weekend is looking like it's filling up already.


Love and toast,
BD
