Directing

We had such a good rehearsal tonight that I'm feeling the same sort of high that I normally only get from performing.

Shit.  This directing this is going to be addictive, isn't it. Well, like they always say, first one's free...

Seriously, I'm so impressed with my amazing and hard-working cast.  I give them notes one week, and it's clear that they actually think about them before the next rehearsal.  They're willing to run a scene or a line over and over again until they get what I'm going for, and they're endlessly patient with my attempts to communicate my ideas ("Like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland!  Like a drunken Santa Claus!  Try moaning with your mouth open!") They think about what lines mean, and can instantly tell me the unwritten ends of sentences that get cut off.  And they're making these characters so much deeper and richer (and scarier!) than what's on the page.  Honestly, I have to say, I think our production is going to be better than the original Nightfall one!  And that's before we even add in the foley, which I know will add another amazing dimension to it all.  I can't wait for you all to hear it!

Speaking of which... the ticket page is now live!  Go forth and buy tickets! :)

Completely as an impartial observer tonight, I thought you did a really nice job directing and conveying what you were looking for. So, give yourself a pat on the back too.

Also...expect something from me, perhaps as early as tomorrow...

The ticket page offers a choice of $15 for Adults or $20 for 'DOS'. What's that?

Your cast and directing are wonderful. And it's always nice to have all the Midnight Show things worked out so early in the run. ;)

I'm thrilled to hear that this is going so well for you! Directing is scary, but I am not surprised that you're totally pwning it. :)
