American Triage Countdown
We’re 1 week away from the reading in New York at Repertorio Español. My director Tlaloc Rivas is finishing up with casting and created a Facebook event invite (love the image he found for it). I sent along a staged-reading version of the script last week, but now need to update it as I realized there’s a dated reference in it. You see, I wrote the play in 2007, so when Fatima (who’s 18 in the play) talks about something from her childhood the math needs to hold up today. Meaning, when she talks about being 10 and references her favorite band, it needs to be a band popular in 2002 and not 1997.It’s a quick update that I need to make tonight and send along.I do wish I could have made it to the reading, but there is just too much going on at my 9 to 5 and no vacation days to spare (let alone air fare), in fact I’m going to have to work through the Thanksgiving holiday (a first for me).Such is life. For the moment anyway.-M
