"The Best of New Play Project"

Me and Bianca's show opened last night, and, with the exception of our light board being possessed by a demon, the show went better than I ever would have imagined. The show is a set of five ten-minute and one-act religious plays, all of which are included in our recent anthology Out of the Mount: 19 From New Play Project. I wrote one of them ("Adam and Eve"), Bianca acts in one of them ("Gaia"), we sorta kinda co-directed one of them after the director dropped out ("Prodigal Son"), and we produced the whole set (producing a play is a lot of work--producing five plays is even more). It was a great performance, and the audience was very responsive, getting very much involved, laughing, and offering some terrific questions and insights in our post-show talkback session. It was a great night. It's been awhile since I've felt as excited, proud, humbled, and fulfilled creatively. Hopefully the rest of the shows will be as good as last night (and the lights won't freak out anymore), and hopefully lots of people will come see the show.
