Several months ago, I met the good people of terraNOVA Collective here in New York, when I did an early reading of Whales & Souls, by Andrew Kramer. They are good people, smart and savvy, and I hoped that the reading would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. In my imagination, I saw us hugging at parties, laughing at references only WE would get, and getting into smart and intense discussions during rehearsals for The Next Really Important Play.
Since then, I've run into these good people at other shows, some their own, and we have hugged and smiled, and we're even Facebook friends. But REAL Facebook friends, not the superficial kind. Like, we've MET in Real Life and everything.
Last week, I got an email from Jessi Hill, the Director of terraNOVA's Groundbreakers program, asking me to be a part of the One Minute Play Festival at Primary Stages October 16th!
(Yes, you read that correctly. ONE minute. I had to go back and make sure, too. I thought they meant TEN minutes.)
I'll be performing in a few of the 50 plays that day and night (There are two performances, should you care to join us), and I'm excited to see what can be accomplished in one minute of stage time. Off the top of my head, in one minute, a person could:
Die
Make Hot Chocolate
Put on False Eyelashes
Act Like a Monkey
Check the Mail
Make Out with a Pillow. Or a Person.
Win the Lottery
Throw a Rock Through a Window
Fold Three Shirts (Neatly)
Sing "Happy Birthday" and Really Vamp at the End
I'm sure there are more things. I'll let you know what they are when I get the scripts. I hope it's the Lottery, though.
