Episode 2 - and EVER

September 2022 had me furiously writing. I wrote several drafts very quickly. The working title was SOULMATES.  The script was full of swearing, blaming, yelling. I tried to take the intensity of emotion to the limit. (Helpful Hint: Yelling is not emotion. It's yelling.) I sent the script to Leah Holder at Theatre by the Bay to see if it could be included in Barrie Theatre Lab's October session. It was accepted. That might not have been the best idea. I needed to take time to step back from it. Let the 'ink' dry and revisit it with fresh eyes. 

The good news this month is that I pitched a THE CHRISTMAS NOTE rehearsed table read to Theatre by the Bay's Iain Moggach and Zarah Walpole as a Christmas Fund Raiser for the company. The drawing card was Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, Jason McCoy. The musical is written around his songs, and he has a starring part. All speed ahead for a December event. Episode 1, I mentioned juggling? I just added a ball. No, more like a flaming torch and two chainsaws.
