Thank you, Roxton.

"We are three commas, two pronouns and a
semi-colon away from greatness."

-M. Bower, 2.75 hours into a 3 hour writing session.

Misha and I spent the morning (and early afternoon) at the Roxton, writing a synopsis for "Georgia & Leona". Coming up with something that represents all the brewing thoughts, deliberated ideas and internal journeys of our characters by talking about "what happens" was a real challenge. But also a valuable experience--now when someone asks me "what is your play about?" I won't hesitate! I won't be at a loss for a description! I can confidently say "oh, well, since you asked, Georgia & Leona are strangers, returning home after reuniting with friends from the past. Georgia meets with Donna, who surprises her with news of her recent marriage; Leona meets with Barry, who arrives with letters written by their good friend Carl, dead now for two years. Each woman re-lives old experiences which lead to new realizations."

I'm memorizing it. Test me.

Special thanks to the lovely people at the Roxton who didn't give us dirty looks for occupying a booth for hours and an extra special YOU ARE GREAT to the server who kept bringing mb coffee even after we had over-stayed our welcome.

We find out our venue info and performance schedule on Monday. Keep those li'l fingers crossed for us!
