So, what we've got written:

Henry IV, part 1
Henry VI, part 2

Not bad for a week. Now if only our writer friends would let us know if they think they are any good...

Blog? What blog?
Oh, that blog. Whoa, hey! Where'd November go?
So Kelly and I agreed to clear our calendars for the fall so we would be able to commit ourselves solely to this project. So of course, what happened? Kelly got sent to two tradeshows in Indianapolis and Nashville. We got a fight gig at Olmsted Falls High School that tied us up for four days. The Mac suffered a serious hardware glitch that required it to go to the shop twice, for several days both times. Life happened. This is hard!
I think we've made some good headway, though. We turned on the tape recorder and riffed on some ideas for the major scenes we want to do, and I blocked out a couple on paper from those riffs. This coming week is all about getting them all written out. We've got nothing on our calendars until Thanksgiving, and then we've got a 6-hour drive down to Maryland (and another one back) with which to do more writing and brainstorming.
On the "actual progress" side of things, we have a light designer nailed down! Doug and Danielle, who are doing the other show we are sharing the weekend with, hired a young designer named Dan Schreckengost, and he has agreed to design our show as well. So, yay! At least something is finalized.
Yes, I'm worried. Yes, we are terrible procrastinators. Or rather, we are really excellent procrastinators, which is the problem. But it is coming together. Really, I swear it is.
