We gathered together a lovely group of women for our audition/rehearsal/playtime workshop. They came because we asked them and they seemed to all have a glorious time, which is what I wanted. It was extraordinary amount of work to gather them together and an extraordinary amount of work to facilitate. Lots of them said, “We should do this every week!” Which might kill me but pleased me a great deal none the less. The fact is we should do it every week. But it would be too expensive to rent that space so often and it would cost a lot of my energy, too. I’d like, though, to have a consistent and delightful group of actors like those we saw on Saturday to play with and create something gorgeous and fun and exciting.
All it takes is an invitation.
And money and labor.
