Shakespeare's Women II, AYLI space

[ceebeegee]

Julie sent out emails to everyone in the showcase, saying it was going up again in January for the Winter Midtown Theater Festival. I said yes. So I have work through January.

Peter is coming to the matinee (?) on Saturday.

Duncan posted about some guy at our matinee on Saturday who apparently went into a diatribe about how bad our space was, and how we should've chosen some other space. Whatever. Opinions = assholes, everyone's got one. Put on your own goddamn show then, no one forced you to see this one. There's only so fucking much I can anticipate and nail down ahead of time and there's a fine line between offering helpful feedback and just being shitty and/or negative. Appropos of that, apparently Letty will be in the showcase again, about which I'm happy. She had a great attitude--I'd love to direct her in something. Maybe in Midsummer--I'd like to read her as Titania.

That guy was weird with his unsolicited opinions. He stayed almost till the end- I don't think he even knew anyone in the cast, though he clearly came with the intent of seeing the show. Maybe he just saw the signs.

Yay! More Shakespeare for you!

That guy had the look of the academic living vicariously--doesn't actually do any Shakespeare but he sure can sit in judgement of it. There was another weird guy at that first performance, dressed very shabbily and standing right by the SL tree with his arms crossed, staring at us, also looking very judgemental. I almost asked him to leave but thought better of it. Just sit down and enjoy the show, or leave. Jesus. It's free, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, I'm excited. Julie wants me to sing some more as well, and I love Elizabethan music. We're going to try some new stuff, as well as some of the old--she definitely wants the Ophelia again, and I'd like to do the Titania as well. If you can think of any cool women's scenes we missed, pass 'em along.
