Eclectic Views

    
Except for the fact that I'm busy working on two to three other projects-- 
I'm missing doing the show.

I don't miss getting up at the crack of dawn, or driving forever to get to 
a tiny town in Connecticut.  I do miss the camaraderie of the actors, and 
the kids booing and having fun at the show.

But that's the life of the actor.  Once I get in to my next project, it 
willl all be right again.
  

    
kafclown, in <inkwell.vue.> you talked about a project you were working that
you called "The Puppet Tragedies."

How's that going? Have you performed any of the pieces in front of an
audience yet?
  

    
I have performed the Barbie Oedipus several times, and I now consider that a 
"done piece"  (although i might continue to work on it.  I got some great 
notes last year when I showed it at a performer's conference)

I haven't worked so much on the Vegetable MacBeth-- there was a moment last 
year where I thought I'd need to bring it back out-- (and completely do it in 
gibberish, rather than in English, so that I could bring it to foreign 
countries-- but that thing fell through)

It's always like that with projects-- I've got half a dozen in the air, and 
the ones that seem likely are the ones taht I am going to catch.

Thanks for asking!
  

    
How do you decide which are (fancifully) interesting to you, but not
to any audience you can (really) expect to assemble/attract? Or are all
done in hopes of some (future) audience? As a playwright, this matters
to me, too. Some scenes may just stay (single) scenes, just as some
musical movements may just remain (stand-alone) movements.
