Good news!
I've been accepted into the 2010 Directors Lab Chicago! It will take place from June 14-20 in downtown Chicago.
I am extremely excited and honored to be one of the 20 selected this year.
Mme Bovary is going well. Casting should be finished sometime in the next 48 hours and I have all afternoon on Friday and all day Sunday to write the script we will start work with on Tuesday.
Now to enjoy the beautiful weather!

Writing Mme. Bovary
Writing an adaptation is harder than anticipated, and I haven't even gotten to the hard part.
I'm working on finding the best place I can work where I have just enough distraction without excuses, so far no luck.
I have written two pages of one of the scenes. Now this is a good start but I still have another ten minutes to write before the end of the week, oy! With four scenes in total it's going to get interesting very soon.
Well, here is to hoping I finish one of the scenes tonight.
In other news I met with two of my favorite collaborators this weekend-Monet (a playwright) and Jill (a sound designer) while both were on separate unrelated occasions both were a delight. Monet had some interesting things to say about American Idiot. Since I am seeing it tomorrow night I look forward to speaking with her further. Jill is always fun.
I saw Anyone Can Whistle on Thursday last. Great music, awful book. Interesting combo.

April Showers...
Well so far two of my applications have been accepted-still waiting to hear back from a few, but that's another story.
Madame Bovary Adaptation
-I am one of three directors selected to take part in an adaptation workshop happening at The Directors Company from now through the end of May. We have a master class once a week with Nagle Jackson to present work and discuss as well as 12 hours of rehearsal time a week to work and build our adaptation. We only work on a 25 minute section of our over all piece but with that 25 minutes I will be able to build it into a full length. Casting is next week and I need to have at least one scene done before the 18th of April. I am so thrilled to have this opportunity
Directors Lab West
This takes place over seven days in Pasadena, CA. It's run by master directors who give lectures, lead discussions, workshops, etc. It's a great place for collaboration, meeting people, and getting to know the CA theater scene, something I know nothing about. This years lab takes place in August.
Two exciting bits of news this week! Im still waiting on Women's Project, Fringe, Playwrights, and Williamstown.
