This postWe had full company runthrough for the show tonight. (The show is Long Ago & Far Away, the New Play Project one I mentioned a few weeks ago.) While of course there were things that still need work, it went quite well, all things considered. And we open next week. Goodness! The opening of the show always comes so quickly.
Oh, during the runthrough this evening, a guy from KBYUFM (the BYU radio station) interviewed me down in the green room. We talked about how I got involved with New Play Project, what it’s like, etc. The three-minute segment (he interviewed some of the other NPP people) will air sometime on Tuesday — I’ll post details once I know them. Hopefully I don’t sound stupid. :P (I do have to say that it was interesting being on the other side of the interview. But that has to do with a new project which I’m not going to reveal quite yet; you’ll have to wait a couple more weeks to hear about it. :))
Theatre’s so much fun. It’s a crazy amount of work, but it’s worth it. Especially when the show is well-received. If you’re in the area and want to come see it, Long Ago & Far Away (which is a set of seven short plays, including one I wrote and one I directed) runs on these dates:
- Friday, July 25 @ 7:30pm
- Saturday, July 26 @ 2:30pm
- Saturday, July 26 @ 7:30pm
- Monday, July 28 @ 7:30pm
- Friday, August 1 @ 7:30pm
- Saturday, August 2 @ 2:30pm
- Saturday, August 2 @ 7:30pm
- Monday, August 4 @ 7:30pm
Tickets cost $5 and you can buy them in person at the box office (the theater’s at 105 E. 100 N. in Provo), or you can purchase them online from the New Play Project website (which I’m in the middle of redesigning, by the way).
