I am holding an audition for a piano player January 22 at 2pm, SAK Comedy Lab. If you or someone you know does musical improv with a piano, let me know!

I met with a new helper/stage manager/I don't know what to call her yet tonight to discuss next steps for the show. In december I am preparing the audition notice. In January, the audition. February, work on the show structure with pianist and other people brought in. Then in March and April we perform anywhere we can to get experience and to get the word out about the Fringe show.

Oh hey, if you know of any venues that would enjoy me doing musical improv, let me know. The only ones I can think of are Club Swank, maybe the Peacock Room, and the library (They have a large stage and the audience is usually five homeless vagrants sleeping upright).

Update! Ok, so I pretty much gave up getting a pianist a couple weeks ago. It's the holidays, the people I wanted are involved in other shows and, well, it was looking bleak. And really, in tangible goods,it still is. I still have no piano player and no rehearsals scheduled. I have contacted one new person today, but the big news is a person I do improv with at SAK might be part of the show, as an organizer/stage manager-type. We talked Wednesday about it. We'll see what pans out. I emailed her today about it.

I have four months to rehearse. I'm resigned to not rehearse at all in December as no one is available. I seriously have no clue what is going to happen. I thought it wouldn't be this hard to find a pianist, but it is. And then once rehearsal start..what do I do? I just want to sing songs. Is more structure needed for the rehearsals. I know I want to tape them and watch them later, to correct myself and get feedback from others.

How does one person create, direct and perform a show by themselves? This seems overwhelming. Eek. Well, it just won't happen this way. I can perform and rehearse. The other things...I have to get help with. Eek.
