Post Show Discussions!

I'm happy to report that we will be holding post-show discussions after both Friday performances with the playwrights and audience.

These will be short chats that begin right after the show.  After curtain call, the playwrights will all come on stage with me, and we will launch into a roughly 20 minute discussion.  Playwrights may wear their costumes if need be - but Bowen...put on a shirt before coming back on stage.  :)

If room allows, actors may also join the audience.

Playwrights should consider how they'd like to articulate their process and how New Works fits into their development as writers.

Let me know if you have questions.  I'm excited to engage in dialogue with the audience about this unique festival.

Costume Parade Tomorrow!

From Jim Peerenboom

Tuesday is dress parade.  Mr. Peerenboom will be sitting down with Matt to look at everyone’s costumes. 

1.        If you have brought in something to be considered, by Tuesday Mr. Peerenboom will have marked the one(s) he wants you to show he and Matt.

2.       If you have communicated with him (email, please: jpeerenb@pps.net) that you have nothing that he listed on the blog for your character, he purchased something for you this past weekend.

3.       If you have not communicated with him at all, he is assuming you are providing your own costume and will have it at Tuesday’s rehearsal to show and Matt and him.

4.       Any questions about your costume?  ASAP email Mr. Peerenboom.

Counting Vegetarians!

The opening night dinner on Thursday, March 2 from 5:00p - 6:00p (mandatory!) will have a vegetarian option.  We need to know your preference so as to get the right amount of food. 

Both crew and cast members need to email Jared your preference by Tuesday 2/21.  As he is a student, his email will not be published here.  If you do not have it, find someone and ask!
