What I've Been Doing
Why oh why haven't I been posting, you ask?
Well, I've been working on something else. I've been writing my adaptation of several Edgar Allan Poe stories for my favorite community theatre troupe to produce (that's me as Mayor Shinn from "The Music Man" over there on the left on the main page; my 404 page features me as kindly Matthew Cuthbert in "Anne Of Green Gables")
Anyway, I've decided to start a blog on it, although this kind of thing has been doomed in the past because I can't put stuff on it that might hurt the feelings of the people involved. Look for links to the script in the next couple days.
I'm adapting "The Fall of the House Of Usher", "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", and "The System Of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether". Also in the show are "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Cask Of Amontillado", "The Masque Of The Red Death", and "The Raven". It's going to be a good show, I can tell. My last adaptation, of "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer", which I also directed, was well received and sold a lot of tickets; my last directorial effort, " The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", sold out two shows out of three, and received high marks at the Georgia Theatre Conference. So - high confidence here. Tomorrow is the last day of auditions, with callbacks on Thursday. Look for links to pop up on the other blog, and maybe the occasional post here if anything noteworthy happens.
If the pretty girl in image 10 (and others) on "Sleepy Hollow" looks familiar, it's because - she's a movie star! Besides being a stone cutie, she's easily the best actress I've worked with and a dream to direct. She's moving away from the area soon and we're all going to miss her.
