Hey.
If I've learned anything in New York City, it's this: nothing ramps up your career like fully committing to produce and write your own work. Here's why. Regardless of the quality of the project you're making, the universe has a wicked sense of humor. And, as you're in the thick of it, she'll hand you other huge endeavors just to see if you can pull them off as well.
That's just marvelous.
In 2014, here are the crazy artistic gambits I'd like to pull off:
- workshop and produce my one man hobo musical (KING OF THE HOBOES -new title) and get investors to do an open-ended Equity Off-Broadway run.
- Perform a production of GREATER TUNA.(two actors playing dozens of characters)
- Find sponsorship to produce a full season of a webseries I wrote and produced (THE BODY HUNT)
-Get investors to produce an Off-Broadway run of GHOST ON A STICK.
- And finally, pertaining to the title of this post, write a complicated interactive play cycle based on the Black Plague (THIS GREAT MORTALITY) They need a full script by March, with tentative plans to produce and perform it in Los Angeles in October. Two one hour plays happening simultaneously, using just six actors. The lives of the rich and poor in Avignon, France just as the black plague takes hold.
Here we go....
