THOTS: Sort of …

Fewer THOTS this time, and some are really too long to qualify. But, then, I went way too long last time.

I’m heading out tonight for Western Mass for a little while. I’m going to sit in on rehearsals of STONE SOUP, stay till opening day, then come back and take Amanda to see closing day. So I want to clear my THOTS notebook before I head out. You’ll be getting lots of blogging about SOUP, and then BEAUTY over the next few weeks. I know they don’t mean much to you, since you don’t know the scripts and won’t see the plays. But theoretically this is why I started this blog. (oh, Friday will be about Harry Potter, of course … though the day is something important for another reason … hint hint).

STONE SOUP started rehearsals on Monday. I had a little scare when I sent in an email with some corrections to some lines and David emailed back saying “there seem to be two scripts.”

Aaah! Yes! Two scripts, as in the first draft and the one I actually want you to perform! You know, the shorter, better one?

Luckily, David is doing the second draft … mostly. He seems to like the original opening. I prefer the shorter one, with audience participation – feels more children’s theatrey. But David’s the boss, and it’s not like I hate the original.

More fun SOUP updates you won’t care about soon!

Oh, and don’t forget …

To read my brilliant Fantastic Four screenplay treatment.

And to add to the list of great movie lines AFI left off their top 100. (now it’s own entry, which I will update to keep it permanent)

Okay, THOTS now.
