At the Theatre

The reading of Catharsis went very well. Some of the lines killed me, but watching Joey and Larry walk on stage scares the crap out of me everytime.

For my next revision I am deleting Victor, the gay guy. He does little to increase the emotional arc and there are too many issues there. Victor deserves his own play.

Paul wants to see more of a resolution with Joey and Larry. I have to say that I agree. I'll have to work on that one later, though. I'm about to go home and face Larry. I promise you, there is no resolution between us. It hard to write about a situation you can't see yourself out of.

I felt bad for Joesph. I think we left him out and the only time I really talked with him was to discuss what changes he should make to his play.

I should know soon enough if Catharsis made it into ACTF. I'd like it to go, but at the same time I don't have time to go. Does ACTF have playwriting workshops at the conference?
