Collaboration!

Preview night is over! It went very well and we had a great response!

I drove Rhys home after the show and we talked about our forthcoming ventures into the world of improvisation/theatresports. I'm really glad I mentioned the idea to him because he's become very passionate about it and I really believe that together we can get the local improv ball rolling. The best part is that our partnership is based on respect and admiration for each other's different abilities and a shared vision for enriching life through teaching and sharing drama. We set some ground rules for our collaboration, swapped numbers, shook hands and smiled. He's so dedicated. I trust him fully that he won't make a halfassed effort at this. It's great to have someone to talk to around my own age who's as passionate for this craft as I am. His image might be that of a larakin but he's actually a very serious man. That's what makes him such a good actor: his persona has variety and layers. And he wants to learn. I'm very much looking forward to working with him as we basically take a leap in the dark and embark on this exciting adventure. I'll keep you 'posted' on our progress.

I'm spending all day tomorrow on my program, until I hit the stage again for opening night!
