Becky- I love musical theater. I love theater in general, but there's something about bursting into song and dance. I personally like to do this off of the stage as well, but it's a little more accepted when done on the stage. We went and saw a production of "Curtains" last night. It's a Whodunit comedy musical. It's not very well known, but really cute. For being a high school version there was some pretty good singing and of course Cathy Strong (Tara's mom) did a wonderful job with the choreography. Joel and I had a fun little date night.
Joel- I love midnight inspiration. So, I have to write a good piece of creative writing for my class (our prof says they should be good enough to submit for competition or publication). I want to write a short play (10-15 minute one-act), but I have been struggling with what to write about. In the middle of the night while I was feeding Nathan last night, it came to me. I've often wondered what baseball coaches talk about during low-key June baseball games--when there's no pitching changes to make and no pinch hitters to consider. And since I've been watching the Ken Burns Baseball documentary series, I have realized how interconnected baseball and American culture and values are. So I'm going to write a one-act play set in a baseball dugout where a couple coaches and a veteran bench player explore the significance of baseball philosophy. We'll see how it turns out. But thank heavens of midnight inspiration.
