Rehearsal:
Here's tonight's rehearsal, recorded with my phone. No piano, just scenework. Francisco, the director, and I talk through our ideas and thoughts on format and audience expectations. I get a suggestion from Francisco and then just start riffing on the cabaret format, playing a hightened version of myself. Stories about my performing background (all untrue) come out. Scenes and songs from made-up shows come every now and then as they come out from the story. The first sound file cuts off about ten minutes in. Just click play on the next segment.
I had a fun time with this format. Stories and scenes flowed more naturally for me than in the full-musical format. And I like playing this type of character (because, well, it's me, just heightened). I think this direction is the best one for me. I can't wait to get the piano player in there and run it with him. I think he can add musicality to the monologues and scenes, as well as play for the actual songs.
I feel more confident about the format after tonight. When I have fun, the show is fun. THe format has a lot to do with me havin fun. If I feel confident with it, I feel the room to play.

Five emails came tonight from Fringe:
-they need high rez pics for publicity requests they're getting already from media
-date/time/directions confirmation for the event in Altamonte March 28 I am in (which I secured a musician for tonight!)
-another reminder about the wine event on April 10.
-the master fringe schedule has changed once since the final schedule came out
-I can't remember the last one :)
