After leaving the Susan Werner work on the back burner for a while (where it will stay until I figure out the next steps) I have started work on a NEW project!
That's right! I am writing another one! This one is not a musical and has nothing to do with Susan Werner - not a thing! The idea - small as it was at the time - occurred to me a few months ago while I was still reeling from the death of my director from AMDA. I kept seeing her, hearing her, remembering her. And after a while, I started learning more about who she was, how she was, her passions. One of them was equal treatment for homosexuals. This was obvious - but to hear how people described how she fought... wow. So I'm writing a new piece - trying not to copy her life as I do not want to make anyone uncomfortable.
Up until yesterday night... okay, this morning, I only had an inkling - no real idea of how anything would progress - just that stuff would happen and there would be people. Great. Who wouldn't want to see that?
Person 1: Hi. Did you know stuff is happening?
Person 2: No. I was completely unaware.
Person 1: Well, now you know.
Person 2: Yes. Yes, I do. Thank you, citizen.
Person 1: You are most assuredly welcome, friend.
Person 3: (Entering) Whoa! Look at all that stuff happening over there!
Person 2: Yes, we were just discussing all the stuff.
Person 1: It is truly remarkable.
Actually, I might be on to something, there. It's almost Godot-esque... in a not-at0all-close kind of way.
So, I write. Outlining has begun and snippets of scenes are slowly getting scribbled down. I am excited.
