Paper to Practice

Scott Miller at New Line Theatre (newlinetheatre.com) is who I want to be when I grow up.  He's the artistic director of New Line: The bad boy of musical theatre. In St. Louis. Incredibly smart. He does it all.  Writes books. Premieres shows direct from Broadway. Trusts material completely through a completely different lens. Illuminates truth onstage.  Just too cool for school.

He also offers the option for anyone involved in a New Line show to blog their experience.  

Hence the first blogs for a DLO show.  (woo WOO woo woo)

So, RENT. Some edgy shit for Danville. Gonna skip the community theatre dramas that made it happen because it's happening.

Auditions are tomorrow.  Well, feels like tomorrow.  But totes relaxing. The luxury of getting to focus entirely on the show with logistics in the hands of a primo artistic staff...loves.  I'm lucky as hell.  

DLO has a sort of formula.  Sorta stale.  This journey is already shaking things up. In a good way.

After the break, I'll be back to tell you about the staff meet and greet and peasant feast.  Should be a trip. A good trip.

Bluntly,
