Full Speed Ahead!

I am pleased that after a long week of meetings, the workshop Commedia production is starting to gain momentum. More cast members are signing up everyday, deals are getting worked out, and the script is coming along at a pleasant clip. All in all, this will be an experiment in circus arts and comedy, the likes of which haven't been seen in 500 years. The cast and crew are all chafing at the bit for rehearsals to begin.

The other big news is that I will be working with the 14/48 Festival in Seattle as a director, and we will be meeting to discuss the possibility of bringing it to Pittsburgh. If so, this event will also not be one to miss, as 14 new plays are created over 48 hours. Of course, they can tell it better than I can, so if you have a chance, you should check them out at http://www.1448fest.com/.

Of course, I can't post without a teaser of future work, so here is a glimpse of some of the work being done, sculpting one of the Masks:

Until next time,

Andrew
