HOST WRTR Herone: ahh small market

PHeeren: fyi, I live in KS

Librettist01: Very cool; she "invented" a third sister called "Amy", and the

plot revolved  around this

HOST WRTR Herone: Topic AKA "Dragging plays of our drawers"

OnlineHost: DAther has entered the room.

PHeeren: I don't know if I could go to plays because I am deaf

Librettist01: imaginary sister.

HOST WRTR Herone: hi DA

DAther: Hi Herone

HOST WRTR Herone: PH -- there's a great theatre for the deaf here in

Cleveland

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi there DA

DAther: Hi Sofie

HOST WRTR Herone: when's the last time any of you dusted off an old play?

PHeeren: but should I rent play videos to help me write better plays?

Noel Katz: Interesting.

PHeeren: any suggestions, guys?

DAther: Her, I tried that just last week.

Librettist01: There was an episode on TV the other night that used a lot of

sign language.

HOST WRTR Herone: those are better than nothing, PH -- but I think live

theatre is best

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I dusted off my old WRIGHTS OF EDEN last month

Noel Katz: I'm rehearsing blind children in a dance number that includes a

sign language section

HOST WRTR SOFIE: frankly I think it needs a can of Pledge

Librettist01: Marla Matlin starred as a woman who shot her little girl's

killer.

HOST WRTR Herone: LOLOL Sofie

DAther: The thing I hate is how fast some of it gets dated.

HOST WRTR Herone: It's interesting to see what dates and what doesn't --

HOST WRTR Herone: A collaborator of mine wanted to pursue reviving one of

our topical musicals.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: It sure is

HOST WRTR Herone: There's so much we'd have to rewrite!

PHeeren: I have written off and on my old play in different times

DAther: I had a couple of mochaccino jokes, and I was thinking--is this

still funny?

Librettist01: I have two main projects; the constant one is a musical, and

then I have an idea for

HOST WRTR Herone: yes, DA -- it's really interesting what dates

Librettist01: a monologue-type play.

Noel Katz: Topicality IS  a problem.  My girlfriend says my show that was

once seen as successfully

DAther: Or has Starbucks humor been overdone?

Noel Katz: depicting contemporary women now plays like a period piece

OnlineHost: Leslie126 has entered the room.

HOST WRTR Herone: very interesting, Noel

HOST WRTR SOFIE: good question, DA

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi leslie

HOST WRTR Herone: that's one reason, I think, it's easier to set musicals in

past periods

OnlineHost: Leslie126 has left the room.

Librettist01: Hi, Les.

DAther: Well, almost all the old plays about women have dated badly.

Librettist01: Or perhaps slightly into the future, Her.

Noel Katz: Sometimes they're even about women dating badly

HOST WRTR Herone: Even HISTORICAL plays still reflect our own era's

obsessions --

OnlineHost: TanyaC has entered the room.

DAther: LOL Noel

HOST WRTR Herone: so does scifi

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hya Tanya

DAther: Tanya**

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL Noel

OnlineHost: DixieMRN has entered the room.

TanyaC: DA**

TanyaC: hiya host :)

DAther: Scifi dates really really badly.

Librettist01: Men date badly too, Noel...

DAther: Westerns probably do all right, lol.

DAther: And Romances.

OnlineHost: DixieMRN has left the room.

TanyaC: what are we discussing?

PHeeren: remember 1776?

HOST WRTR Herone: dusting off older plays and trying to make them work

OnlineHost: Greffi has entered the room.

HOST WRTR Herone: (our own work)

HOST WRTR SOFIE: Hi Tanya -- I tried to send you an IM with info 

Librettist01: Hi, Tanya...we're talking about that play you want to get back

into and finish...

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi Greffi

DAther: I was just thinking of Stage Door, dated badly.

TanyaC: hiya greffi, ltns :)

Noel Katz: There's a so-called "new" play on Broadway right now that was

actually written 40 years ago

HOST WRTR Herone: My problem in picking up old half-written scripts is that

TanyaC: i have them turned off, sorry

Greffi: Hi Sofie, Tanya

PHeeren: I saw that movie during my leg operation in july 1976 (or 1975?)

HOST WRTR Herone: I'm a different person with different concerns than the

person who started the play

HOST WRTR SOFIE: Yes, I find that too, Herone

DAther: Her, and probably a better writer.

PHeeren: at Children's Hospital in Omaha, NE

HOST WRTR Herone: and sometimes I just don't have the itch that started it

Noel Katz: I don't find that, Herone.  Since my concern - in writing -

really doesn't change

HOST WRTR Herone: The sand in the oyster has moved to a different spot.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: darn that passionate writing

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL Sofie

DAther: LOL, Her, that is often true, our itches move around a lot.

PHeeren: can I get a copy of the play "1776"  to read at night?

Noel Katz: I'm only interested in entertaining the audience.

PHeeren: I mean, at the library

Noel Katz: 1776 is in most libraries.

Noel Katz: It's also in a collection called Ten Great Musicals of the

American Theatre

HOST WRTR Herone: I am constantly surprised to read my old plays and

discover something new

HOST WRTR Herone: about what/why I was writing something

Librettist01: Sometimes Librettos are hard to find, because of

proprietary/copyright issues.

TanyaC: bowing out since this is not my forte... but whispering bye bye to

DA* and all

OnlineHost: SeabornDan has entered the room.

DAther: Bye Tanya*

OnlineHost: TanyaC has left the room.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi seaborn Dan

SeabornDan: Hello everyone

HOST WRTR Herone: I notice that I have to get back into a "groove" with a

play.  

OnlineHost: WORDGUY280 has entered the room.

OnlineHost: WORDGUY280 has left the room.

Librettist01: Hello, seaborn.  Have you solved your housing problem by

living on a boat?  lol.

HOST WRTR Herone: It's like finding a psychic rhythm, or the right internal

soundtrack.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I have to discover what led me to write it in the first

place

HOST WRTR Herone: It's sort of about finding the sound of the characters as

well as the original obsession.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: sorta like trying to recreate a really good date...

SeabornDan: <--- Actual first name is Seaborn

Librettist01: I should try to crank out my monologue-play idea called "The

Blind Beggar".

HOST WRTR Herone: But I have a habit of putting down plays 1/2 way thru my

writing them, then coming back 

HOST WRTR Herone: to them to finish them.  It's weird.  Very few 

HOST WRTR SOFIE: like somehow you run out of gas?

HOST WRTR Herone: have been completed straight thru, without some kind of

hiatus.

Noel Katz: Most often, I write with a deadline some producer has imposed

Noel Katz: Things get finished

HOST WRTR Herone: Yes, Sofie -- or I suddenly don't know where I'm going or

I lose faith or get sidetracked

DAther: Her, I do that a lot too. It's almost like running out of psychic

steam.

Librettist01: I was like that with "Wounded Bird"; wrote about half of it

and didn't finish it

Librettist01: till some director agreed to read it.

HOST WRTR Herone: Well deadlines do kick yer butt -- they have helped me

finish things.

HOST WRTR Herone: But even those have had big or little pauses in the

writing.

SeabornDan: <--- writes comic books

Librettist01: I didn't even have to finish it; he was willing to read a

partially finished work.

HOST WRTR Herone: I learn how to pick up half-done plays all the time.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: did the director try to help you with "Wounded Bird?"

Librettist01: Comic books are not that dissimilar to plays in my opinion.

DAther: Sometimes I think deadlines force us to artificial endings.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: give you suggestions?  Inspiration?  Comments?

OnlineHost: YeastOEden has entered the room.

HOST WRTR Herone: Lib -- I know what you mean.  You're storyboarding them in

your mind.

Librettist01: He helped me by showing interest in it.

SeabornDan: Lib, setups are similar... 

HOST WRTR Herone: Comic books are very helpful re: drama because they force

your to think about what is

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi Yeast (great screen name)

PHeeren: I wrote a play about King George III in fifth grade but it wasn't

in my mom's apt 

HOST WRTR Herone: HAPPENING, not just about dialogue -- there is action

encoded in them.

PHeeren: or in my aprt

PHeeren: apt

Noel Katz: When I wrote for television, I found it a little more like

writing for comic books

Librettist01: I think that online comic scripts are an untapped area for

dramatists.

PHeeren: I guess I will write from starch again

YeastOEden: thank you Host SOFIE.....hello to you

PHeeren: what a bummer for me!!!

Noel Katz: How did King George do in the fifth grade?  Did he get a lot of

A's?

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL Noel

SeabornDan: Screen plays/comic books... same thing... have to tell entire

pic AND include sound fx

Librettist01: Good phrase, PH, wirte from starch!

HOST WRTR Herone: DA -- besides old plays "dating", have you found other

problems going back?

Noel Katz: That's all I have time for, folks.  Good seeing you all

Librettist01: We all need a little of that "starch" to get the writing

process going!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I know what you mean, PHeeren

HOST WRTR Herone: nite Noel

OnlineHost: Noel Katz has left the room.

Librettist01: Nite, Noel, thanks for stopping by!

SeabornDan: >")))>< ~~ Seeking other fishes.. take care.. stay groovy

OnlineHost: SeabornDan has left the room.

YeastOEden: oop

YeastOEden: brb

OnlineHost: YeastOEden has left the room.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: night Noel

Librettist01: Don't make too big a splash, Sea!  Night!

DAther: One thing that might date a play is the word "groovy"

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL

HOST WRTR SOFIE: really! hmmmm

HOST WRTR Herone: I have noticed that many plays that playwrights go back to

aren't improved IMHO

HOST WRTR Herone: like Sondheim's "improvements" in the books of FOLLIES,

MERRILY, etc.

Librettist01: Right, Her.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: Maybe they're left half done?

DAther: I think one of my biggest problems going back is picking up

characters.

HOST WRTR Herone: some flaws are fixed while others more egregious are

created

HOST WRTR Herone: me too, DA

DAther: I've changed, so I want them to change.

Librettist01: Right, DA, they've left you to go to other authors.

DAther: Sometimes I think someone should tie Sondheim up before he does more

damage.

HOST WRTR Herone: yes!

DAther: LOL, Librett!

Librettist01: You can't just neglect them like that, after all.

HOST WRTR Herone: it's like, Dude!  Trust your younger self's impulses!

HOST WRTR Herone: they're kinky, maybe, but at least they're interesting

DAther: And I suppose that's what we have to do, too, trust our younger

self's impulses.

DAther: But it's hard.

HOST WRTR Herone: yes it is

HOST WRTR Herone: One of the things I have trouble with is feeling slightly

embarrassed when I see

HOST WRTR Herone: where I was going with older/half-done plays

Librettist01: Amazing how Eugene O'Neill's plays (and Arthur Miller's)

always seem to play well

Librettist01: at any time.

DAther: <--not O'Neill's biggest fan.

HOST WRTR Herone: It's not even lack of craft -- it's seeing what the

passions were revealing

HOST WRTR Herone: we're kindred souls, then, DA --

HOST WRTR Herone: I find O'Neill makes my eyes roll up into my head most of

the time.

Librettist01: I call O'Neill naturalist style drama.

DAther: Her, that's embarassing enough with your current work, what you're

revealing.

HOST WRTR Herone: yeah!

HOST WRTR Herone: I'm always fighting my own fear.

HOST WRTR Herone: strange, because my work is considered "brave" and out

there

HOST WRTR Herone: but it's at a cost 

HOST WRTR SOFIE: what is the cost?

Librettist01: I think you can have an idea that's very "sharp", and you're

afraid to write it 

Librettist01: because of that;

HOST WRTR Herone: I'm always overcoming my "what am I DOING?" censor

DAther: Nakedness is the cost.

HOST WRTR Herone: yes

OnlineHost: Bj4man has entered the room.

Librettist01: no problem writing an unequivocally bad play!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi Bj4

DAther: You know everyone in the audience is going to know exactly what you

think and feel, you, the

DAther: playwright.

HOST WRTR Herone: As a woman there are many taboos it's hard to cross.

Raised as "good girl", lol

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I can dig that!

Librettist01: You could (shudder) tone it down a little, Her!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: And how strange it is what is assumed of you by what you

write

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL Lib

DAther: Sofie, well, but it's not always wrong.

HOST WRTR Herone: I always think I *am* toning it down, LOL

OnlineHost: Bj4man has left the room.

DAther: A lot of what you think and feel is obvious to anyone who's

watching.

Librettist01: I watched "Redemption" last week; very penetrating play about

the black experience,

Librettist01: but perhaps a bit e xplicit.

HOST WRTR Herone: oh yeah, DA

Librettist01: A lot of times I think that getting from R or X rated to PG13

could help a play make

Librettist01: the mainline theatres.

DAther: Do plays have ratings?

HOST WRTR Herone: sometimes, yes, Lib -- sometimes no

PHeeren: have you read "The Crucible"?

HOST WRTR Herone: I think if you have a non-mainstream head it's not about

the language

Librettist01: Just using as analogy, DA, but practically they do, DA;

there's a much bigger market

HOST WRTR Herone: it's about the POV

Librettist01: in my opinion for plays and musicals that appeal to family

audiences.

Librettist01: I suppose I'm thinking in a crass commercial mode.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I read The Crucible, Ph

HOST WRTR Herone: Sofie -- I think we should have a complete evening topic

on "language" and markets

HOST WRTR Herone: it comes up again and again

DAther: I don't think I could write everything for an audience that included

six year olds.

PHeeren: how did you like this, sofie?

HOST WRTR Herone: I sure couldn't.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: sounds like a fine idea

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I found it a tough go, PH

HOST WRTR Herone: I was very circumspect about the language I used in

REHEARSING CYRANO

Greffi: how about 6 year olds who are reincarnations of sophisticated

hedonists?

HOST WRTR SOFIE: LOL

PHeeren: I think impeachment topic is too sensitive for writing a play

PHeeren: right?

Librettist01: They write nasty plays themselves, Greffi.

DAther: Well, as long as you register your current incarnation at the door.

HOST WRTR Herone: because they'd forgotten to put the "adult language"

modifier on the flyers, LOL

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I don't know about that, PH -- I think it more depends on

the character..

HOST WRTR SOFIE: the playwright chooses to focus on

HOST WRTR Herone: but the material was still essentially adult, even tho

there were 10 year olds who did enjoy

HOST WRTR Herone: the play

HOST WRTR SOFIE: That's one of the things I'm thinking about in digging up

this play from

PHeeren: I'd rather not write about the impeachment scandal as a play for

the sake of kids

HOST WRTR Herone: We're sort of topic-wandering, though it's all

interesting.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: beneath my desk -- holds up the wobbly leg

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I'm not wandering

HOST WRTR Herone: what -- the language,Sofie?

DAther: I still remember sitting in the auidience of The Entertainer at 11,

stricken with horror and

DAther: wonder.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: the point I'm making is --- when looking at a piece that's

half done..

OnlineHost: HazelHazel has entered the room.

PHeeren: I have four nephews under age 10 and two nieces over age 10

HOST WRTR Herone: hi Hazel

HazelHazel: Hey room

Librettist01: Some plays are difficult to write without getting into the sex

issue.

Greffi: Was The Entertainer the one about the washed up theater guy who was

taking care of the kid?

HazelHazel: Greffi..Da...Libret Herone

HOST WRTR SOFIE: .. why not give it a different spin -- from a different

character's point of view

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi Hazel

DAther: Hazel* Hazel*

HOST WRTR Herone: yes -- very interesting thought, Sofie

PHeeren: they (Meagan and Alexandria) are teenagers, almost

Greffi: Hi hazel

DAther: No Greff, that was A Thousand Clowns.

HOST WRTR Herone: creating a new POV for the piece that way

Greffi: oh

Librettist01: My idea for one about WB Yeats would have to avoid his last

years if you didn't want to get

Librettist01: really explicit.

Greffi: which one was The Entertainer?

HOST WRTR SOFIE: there are some really good reasons for a play to sag in the

middle..

Librettist01: The old guy was  really active, lol!

HOST WRTR Herone: Tell why you think so, Sofie.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: though a full rewrite sometimes daunts and exhausts me 

DAther: It was about a washed up English actor, lol, no kid.

HOST WRTR Herone: I'm always interested in that.

DAther: Close though.

OnlineHost: Greffi has left the room.

OnlineHost: PHarris825 has entered the room.

DAther: John Osborne, really bleak.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi Pharris

HazelHazel: hi PH

Librettist01: Hi, PH!

HOST WRTR Herone: hi Paul

OnlineHost: Monkshoods has entered the room.

Librettist01: (Also waving at PHeeren).

HOST WRTR Herone: hi Monks

PHarris825: Hi everyone Just in from the ballet

HOST WRTR Herone: sounds nice

PHarris825: Boy am I out of condition!

Monkshoods: Hi

Librettist01: Good for you!  Some of us have to keep up with culture!

OnlineHost: Greffi has entered the room.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: hi monksheads

HazelHazel: saw dance this week too, first time in ages..loved it

Librettist01: You were doing ballet?

HOST WRTR SOFIE: oops - I mean hoods

Monkshoods: Right

Librettist01: Hello, Monk.

PHarris825: No... Just joking... 

Greffi: Hazel, how is the store?

Librettist01: You mean you didn't get right out there on stage and catch the

ballerina?

OnlineHost: Vidya s177 has entered the room.

Monkshoods: Hello

Librettist01: Chicken...

HOST WRTR SOFIE: folks -- before we go into the SHAMELESS PLUGS time...

PHarris825: No, you should have seen her!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: just a note to let you know we won't be having chat next

week

OnlineHost: Vidya s177 has left the room.

HazelHazel: just fine, Greffi

HOST WRTR Herone: yes -- we're both in rehearsal

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I'll be auditioning for THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

OnlineHost: PHeeren has left the room.

DAther: I love that play so much.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: and Herone will be at a rehearsal

HOST WRTR Herone: and I'm dramaturging a script at a first readthru

Librettist01: Good luck on that, Sof!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: thanks lib

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I'll need it

HOST WRTR Herone: Now:  SHAMELESS PLUG TIME

PHarris825: a most unusual Jack

HOST WRTR Herone: break a leg Sofie -- you're always great

HazelHazel: Good luck Sof, Herone...

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I'm reading for "Miss Prism" -- and am really 'young' for

the part

Monkshoods: When I was younger, I thought it was THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING

ERNEST, like Ernest Hemingway!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: thank you!!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: LOL  Monks

Greffi: the word dramaturge always sounded like someone who scrubbed a play

HOST WRTR Herone: I have a non-theatre plug 

HazelHazel: lol Greff..I supppose it sort of means that

Librettist01: Maybe that's "Dramapurge", Greff!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: and I have a dad and brother - both named Ernest -- they

think themselves 

HOST WRTR SOFIE: very important

HazelHazel: Go Heronje

HOST WRTR Herone: One of my stories was just published in a new anthology

HOST WRTR Herone: "Best Bisexual Erotica"

HOST WRTR SOFIE: whoooo hooooo

Greffi: i" can never get all of the sludge out of the lines"

HOST WRTR Herone: and it looks like it's being picked up by a book club

DAther: Great Her!

OnlineHost: AMcc973801 has entered the room.

Librettist01: Giving a kid a name like "Ernest" sort of makes him become

self-important.

HazelHazel: yay!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: now that's not a club shaped like a book..

DAther: Whereas the name "Fred" never gives anyone false aspirations.

HOST WRTR SOFIE: lol

HOST WRTR Herone: no...tho with some of the stories in there...whew!

HazelHazel: lol Da

HOST WRTR Herone: anything goes

Librettist01: Like the Holmes family I knew who named their 12th and last

kid "Sherlock"...

Librettist01: poor kid!

HOST WRTR Herone: poor tyke!

HazelHazel: couldn't resist, huh?

Greffi: i wonder if they called him by his middle name

Librettist01: Their last chance!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: I'm doing well in TEN LITTLE INDIANS -- we have the show

down so pat, I'm off the stage by

HOST WRTR SOFIE: 8:26 p.m.

HOST WRTR Herone: LOLOL Sofie

HOST WRTR Herone: I didn't realize that was still running!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: that gives me 2 hours to write in the green room

HazelHazel: great Sof...

HOST WRTR Herone: good for you

OnlineHost: Unique Ewe has entered the room.

DAther: Sofie is the second Indian?

DAther: Hi Unique!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: or what we've decided to call 'The reading room of the

Dead'

Unique Ewe: How's everyone?

PHarris825: <--up for an award next week (Lambdas), play chosen for SC

push pins

HOST WRTR Herone: now I'm buckling down to this brief dramaturg job

HOST WRTR SOFIE: where in the world is herone?

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL -- not complaining

PHarris825: one for the theater company one for the publishing company

Unique Ewe: Sometimes we don't know when we are on top

HOST WRTR SOFIE: as IF

HOST WRTR Herone: LOL Paul

DAther: PH, she just hasn't heard about it yet.

PHarris825: anyway, she wouldn't fit under my desk....

any.

Librettist01: Hope you feel better soon, her.

HOST WRTR Herone: did a slippy-slide down a few steps today

HOST WRTR Herone: I don't recognize my own stairway, LOL!

HOST WRTR SOFIE: the theaters he listed were so out of date!
