… to a brand new song and completely overhauling an old one. It was exhilarating… especially working on the new one. It’s been a while since I’ve written lyrics and there is also the challenge to keep the original charm of and unity of the piece as a whole. Don’t really want the new song to stick out like a… new song, if you know what I mean. The overhaul on the old one was …
… to scan in the typed script of Frogway. Guess what I’m doing all evening?
… Frogway, that is. Skyped with my friend Mike last evening and he filled me in on the details of the meeting between him and the producers of the show. Of course, all of this is dependent on the rewrites. When the project was first proposed I agreed to it on condition that we both rework the show before it was to be remounted. Afterall, it has been 27 years since it was first produced …
Last night, after catching up with a friend on her return from New Zealand I ran into fellow playwright, Ross Howard who fielded 2 shows at the recent Rogue Festival. This one & this one… both excellent plays in my book ( I saw them both in my quest to seek out original works during the festival).

… this weekend. Lugging equipment and setting up venues for the Festival. A flurry of activity as the Rogue begins to take over the Tower District for the next 2 weeks. I have to admit that I am getting excited with the upcoming openings of my shows in it. I have a pretty tight schedule on Saturday as 2 of my shows are playing back to back. At 7:30 Suicide Lounge plays and then I …
… HERE IT IS! (Just click Talepromovideo under the player to steal it for your own blog. Oh yeah, go check the TJ Blog and meet one of our Rogue Buddies there! Oh yeah (number two), there may be an HNT this week. TalepromovideoUploaded by dathang
Just to get it out of the way… there is a NEW POST on the TJ site. We had a pickup rehearsal tonight that went pretty darn well. Been quite a day. More web work… then I began toying with a promotional video for Tale End. Hopefully it will be completed by tomorrow. I think it’ll run about a minute or so long. 2 weeks more till the Rogue begins. There is still loads to …
