Three Directors in Three Days Redux
A phone call.
Why did I stay up so late Friday night? Why did I schedule this phone call so early? Why did I schedule anything on the day I was celebrating my birthday–I have so much prepping to do.
The call was short and sweet. We are on the same page about characters. I’m glad to hear the rewrites I did last year appear to have improved the play. More later…I suppose.
A video chat.
Why did I schedule a video chat on the night of the election? Though it was nice to take my mind off the sudden nervousness I was experiencing. I took notes. Lots of notes. There will likely be more video chats as the project moves forward. The chat ends and I turn my attention back to the election results which means I forget to pour myself a drink.
A coffee date.
Actually I had hot cocoa. We sit and talk for an hour and a half. It’s great. A getting-to-know-you kind of meeting. We talk theatre. Local. A teeny bit on the national scale. Personal philosophies about collaboration, playwright support. It was great. No. It was fantastic.
