After being poked by the proverbial stick (thanks Pete), here's another post. And thanks to the great feedback concerning the vlog post (especially on Facebook), it will make a return in the near future.
Streetcar wrapped and sold out pretty much every show... granted the seating capacity was small, so that helped. It was a fun albeit rushed experience and sharing the stage with some of the most talented people I've ever worked with was great and something I'll not soon forget. The reviews were solid as well, despite the set not being ideal and the production side of things being a bit tardy.
While I did have fun with the show, I've decided to take a theatrical sabatical for a bit. I'm sure I'll be in another Prenzie show soon enough, but for now it's kind of nice to not have to be frantically memorizing lines. I've been doing a good amount of freelance design work for multiple theatre companies as well as a restuarant, so that's exciting. Plus, CSz is starting to pick up as we enter the heavy remote season so it's nice to have as much free time open as possible for that.
Dogsbreath Productions has gotten our schedule laid out a bit and will be finishing up the Reality Check DVD soon. We've got a potential project with the American Theatre Company in the pipeline, a film adaptation of a play that's coming along, and we're in pre-production for another pilot as we head in to the new year.
I'm in this weird re-discovery/nostalgic phase for some reason. I'm slowly finding these things that I enjoyed years ago and am reincorporating them into my life.
The first of these re-discoveries is a wonderful show that not too many people have heard of, unfortunately. My friend had burned me a copy of the entire Channel 4 series called Black Books, starring the Irish
comedian Dylan Moran. I had watched the entire first season and 80% of the second season, and then got away from it for some reason with the end of season 2 and all of season 3 yet to go. I loved the series, but never had the burning desire to go back and finish it for some reason. Recently, I've been doing some writing and have found these shows to be a comedic inspiration. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely pick it up. Dylan Moran's performance alone as an angry, intoxicated book shop owner is something to behold. I have a DVD of his stand-up called Monster and also got to see him live in London when I was there a few years back.
I'll share more rediscoveries in future posts. Until then, take care.
