So I have been mad crazy busy these past few weeks with the final touches to The Agreeable Husband. I say final touches, but this is just the beginning. We are polishing up for our premiere performance tonight at the 7th Annual Ybor Festival of the Moving Image It's a one-night-only deal, we are one of the mainstage performances (And, btw, none of this would have been possible without the incredible support that David Audet has extended to us through the Festival). It will be our first full performance in front of an audience. Following the premiere, we workshop the piece for a few weeks – sort of a back to the drawing board treatment based on how the audience received it as well as filling in the new elements that were too complicated to add to try for right out the door. After that we will be appearing during the summer and fall at various stages in the Bay Area and around Florida. Each for probably a weekend run, then more working it then more performances in another space – you get the idea. I have never worked on a project of this size quite like this, to have the opportunity to toss a piece in front of an audience and then have the opportunity to adapt before it gets seen again.
