In the wake of one of the actors having to leave the Convergence for health reasons, 13 WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE CHORUS becomes a staged reading – very heavily staged, but a reading nonetheless. So many people in Indy have stepped up in the last two days to help this play find its footing again. I’m so grateful to them. There is sadness in me about losing the full staging of 13 WAYS, but also some relief in knowing we are now trying to achieve something smaller and more manageable.

Ian G. and David K. came in this weekend for lights and video design respectively, and taught workshops on sustainable theater and projection techniques. I stage managed our tech this weekend, which wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be. It’s like riding a bicycle.

And the Convergers had dinner last night at Kim’s, in which we discussed the Klingon Hamlet, “What Is Art,” pseudoscience, “the secret life of cells”, and whether or not Orson Welles should feel bad about killing people with War Of The Worlds. It was so good to have a big Stoppardian intellectual discussion, and to have the time to sit and talk with people again.
