nice first time

Our first performance of Seat Yourself last Saturday went well. People seemed to really enjoy it, they laughed a lot, and R, D and I were all happy with what we did. I'm sure it will get even better as we add rehearsals/performances.

It was about twice as long as what it's classification as a ten-minute play would imply. I would say it lasted a bit more than 20 minutes.

So now we're looking into doing some bar and café gigs. If you have any ideas or can get us in somewhere, get in touch at perry @ est-paris.com.

"Seat Yourself" - Saturday June 14

We'll put on the play, which lasts about 10 minutes, at around 8:30.

Rehearsing a short one

Damian Corcoran, Robert Bradford and I are rehearsing Seat Yourself, a 10-minute play by Michael that we'll be putting on guerilla style in the bars and elsewhere in a couple of weeks.

We'll be beating out the Oxford, Mississippi theater festival to doing it first. The play will be performed there this fall, since it won their 10-minute play competition last year.

Still building up the the goal of doing The Quick, Brown Fox Jumped Over the Lazy Dogs later.

"Quick, Brown" to come, Michael's musings

We're still planning to do Michael Merino's The Quick, Brown Fox Jumped Over the Lazy Dogs (download the Word file, 399kb). No work has begun yet, though. Parisian actors that would be interested should email us at leopard AT gmail DOT com.

In the meantime, check out Michael's musings. As Jack White says: "Be like the squirrel."
