Living a blessed Life

Over-the-top Fop, Sterling Christopher, a comic character. 

We had a production meeting about the set for Trudeau today, and I took along a précis of a new script I call The Harridan. It may have God as the central character—this God being a stand-up comic on his Second Coming tour—and I pitched it to Kim to be part of his 2015/2016 season and he said: "Yes!"

When I pitched my idea to Kim, he was cautiously encouraging but careful not to commit. Slowly, I started pushing; I pointed out the many reasons he should say yes in a way I have never had the confidence to do. I believe I can do it. I believe I have a great idea and that I can tell it in an interesting way.

Knock Knock was a musical. Uncle Gus' Monkey is a straight play, Trudeau is fantastical and my costumes and wigs put much more of my imagination on the stage. Harridan will take me somewhere new as well. And look at that: four plays in two years.
