Met with Deanne today to get an update on the showcase that we’re putting together with my scenes. She wants to have production up and running in January, 2005. We’re going to do a read-through of the scenes possible in early October. We’ve settled on the format; the scenes will be read forward and then backward, so “Mirror, Mirror” is still a potential showcase name. It will allow us to showcase three actors (and give those actors lots of stage time and emotional “meat” to shine), but also let Deanne set up a completely second cast if she wants to. It’ll allow her flexibility if an actor needs to back out for any reason, as well as add more shows if the opportunity arises.

This could be a very fun thing that grows a life of its own – at least, Deanne certainly thinks so. Right now, I’m just looking forward to the first table read to hear what real actors do with the parts!
