What's next?
by Matthew A. Everett • 9/27/08 • “Are you going to be at the cast party?”
Everybody dreads that final goodbye. So it’s nice to be able to postpone it for a few more days.
The couple in the front row
by Matthew A. Everett • 9/26/08 • In the wake of the closing of my play “Leave” last night, I was holding it together pretty well. A tear or two on the pre-dawn walk to the gym, but dry-eyed there and on the drive in to work. The first two hours of the day went OK. Even managed to talk dispassionately with a couple of co-workers about their experience of seeing the show.
How it started
by Matthew A. Everett • 9/25/08 • My friend Paul Wolf joined the Army after college. He was a couple of years ahead of me. Looking back, I’m still kind of clueless why he latched on to me the way he did. I know why I took to him. He didn’t put up with the usual theater department crap. He wasn’t interested in the offstage drama everyone was creating. He just wanted to do theater and have fun. All-nighters toiling over design projects. Mr. Pibb. Bruce Springsteen.
Now comes the night (a.k.a., music is dangerous)
by Matthew A. Everett • 9/24/08 • Music is dangerous. The upside to using music in a production of one of my plays is that it then invariably becomes imprinted with memories of that production.
