It looks like I’ll be subjecting the students of my former high school to another dose of the Greek chorus this June. Maybe I’ll be able to show them a tape of the show we put together at Indy. Or maybe I’ll get organized and try to hold a professional chorus workshop for adults in the same week.

I’m working on a rewrite of the 13 Chorus script tonight. I was pretty blocked on it, despite having made some casting and design breakthroughs in the past few days. But I got a lot of mileage out of whining to some of the designers during tech, and I just slept on it for awhile – and I woke up with one line, which is all I need –

“If only Medea had never, had never
(had never, had never, had never, had never)
If only Medea had never come here…”

And a little melody, which I will hum into this HTML editor and hope it transfers.

The great thing about having this blog going now is that I can write unrestrainedly about my own process, even if not about others’. Anyway, when I’m trying to do rewrites, I usually can’t crack them open until one line, whatever it is, arrives. I have this one line – so now I know I’m going to finish the rewrite.
