Today: SOMETHING RAW
As we all know, I'm an actor.
This means that occasionally, I do shows. Right now, I'm doing a great theatre festival called "Raw Impressions Musical Theatre # 16"
Premise:
8 composers and 8 writers who have never met are paired on a Friday evening.
They are given guidelines in creating a new 10 minute music theatre piece.
The first draft is sight read by 10 actor/singers that Sunday afternoon.
3 days for rewrites.
4 days for rehearsal
They present the new pieces to the public a week after the first reading
The Theme:
Create a 5-10 piece based on one of the writings your fellow participants have given you about a moment in their life when they made a dangerous choice. You may make that moment literal, or figuratively inspired by the story. The moment must be sung. The action of the scene must take place afloat - on the water, in the sky, in the womb, wherever you want, but afloat.
Raw Impressions has presented 148 new 10 minute musicals in 4 seasons.
I went to my first read through last night and I can tell you that this is going to be GREAT!!!
And also very funny.

Hmmm, well, Indiana is a little out of the way to travel from, and until I get my vacation pay, a little expensive too. I'm still planning on visiting sometime though.
