I MADE THIS FOR YOU!

Hey folks.

As I sit here, two amazing things are happening here in Blacksburg.

1st - It snowed today. April 1st. It snowed. A decently large amount.

2nd - THE 24 HOUR THEATRE PROJECT. has BEGUN! I'm directing one of the performances, and let me tell you - this is going to be extremely interesting. For those of you who didn't click that link above, here's the deal -

6 writers. 6 directors. 19 actors. 6 scenes. Each director/writer team has a randomly selected number of actors, who are then randomly selected from the ensemble by the audience. The writers go write a play for those actors/director from 8 pm to 6 am, the directors get the plays at 7 am, and then the actors show up and rehearsals start at 730 am. The shows go up, completely memorized and blocked, at 730 pm.

And that's a show. I'm directing. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow... (actually, Sunday. I'll be exhausted tomorrow.)

Meanwhile, I was revisiting Julian Smith videos. Here's one of my favorites:



Enjoy.
