There's much that I enjoy about theatre, but foremost is collaboration.
In this most recent project (Are We Delicious at Broom Street Theatre, Madison Dec 3-12) eight of the eleven people pictured above write, act, direct and stage manage. The other three keep us motivated and on track.
We each wrote a play. We each act in two (or more) plays. We each direct and stage manage a play. And all of this went from concept to opening night in ... six days.
Thanks to my delicious creative partners. This has been a sweet ride, with one more weekend of performances to go. I never imagined I'd write a piece about two strangers kidnapped in Somalia at Christmas, or that I would play God in one play and a Mafioso in another - all part of a single production.
For those of you who can't make the show, here's my contribution to the work, "Spiny Bone". Too bad you can't see the terrific performances of Dan Steger and Jason Compton, who nailed it.
