"Soldiers' Stories" OCT 29th 2009...

...went great.
alway nice when something you write in the confines of your self-imposed dungeon plays out well in front of an audience.
in front of people. breathing. sweating. engaged.
PEOPLE.
and that's theatre.
and that's why i'll always remain active in theatre in some form or another.
just watching/listening to an audiences' reaction is a whole school of education in itself.
really.
can't see how dramatic writers do without.
just sit in front of their Mac's and type, type, type away and churn out anything of value.
-more skill then me, i suppose.
but the funny thing is, it's the simple stuff that always work.
always.
the tried and true 'beats.'
drama borrowed from Euripides;
comedy gleaned from Aristophanes.
nevertheless, kudos to all involved.
good shit indeed.
