My residency period for my fourth and final semester of graduate school began this week. Things seem to be going okay so far. I had my ten-minute Stand-inspired play Wildflowers workshopped yesterday, and the response was positive and the criticism useful. I always wait to see if my teacher has any amount to say about it, because I think it's an indicator that they're becoming engaged, and fortunately that seemed to be the case. The fourth semester is the thesis semester for my program, which means I have to revise an old full-length piece, write a new full-length piece, write a new ten-minute play, and design a seminar for my fellow students on some aspect of craft. My teacher said she'd be happy to work on the larger story Wildflowers is part of as my thesis, which would be cool. It makes me feel good to hear she likes it.
Also regarding that larger story, I was fortunate enough to get another ten-minute play accepted for performance. This one is Public Enemy, which happens to be another piece of the story that Wildflowers helps to tell. It is spoilery for The Stand, and was written as part of 31 Plays in 31 Days. This one will also be happening in New York, produced by a group called Thespian Production as part of the 2013 Winter "Theatre Madness" at Joria Main Stage Theater at 260 West 36th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY. The production dates will be from March 7-9th. This is cool because it's the first piece of this story to see performance, which will be great if I'm going to develop it this semester for my thesis. Also, perhaps best of all, I need do nothing at all to put the production together. As much as I like putting shows together, personally getting things together to go up in New York is a little tough, and lately I don't have a lot of extra time and energy. I'm hoping for more of this in the future, so I can have lots of production without driving myself insane. :-)
So this brings the tally up to four performances of three plays-- The Late Mrs. Chadwick, Work-Life Balance, and Public Enemy --and two readings-- of Mrs. Hawking and The Triumph of Law. Here's hoping things continue in this vein!
