Breastplate

Hooray! Christy the sleazebag Clark, our premier, is out — and thank God. The Greens just ousted the queen of slime.

I’m done with the script. I can’t do any more. I’m sticking to dressmaking now in hopes of having the defiant dress front done in time for the Arts Club submission — given that it is the most important piece in the play and unlike any of the other dresses. The script goes to an editor on Friday.

Then, next Thursday (June 8^th), I start re-writing again after I get the feedback from Colin. Then it goes to the Arts Club on the 19^th and I hear if I’m selected for the new play series or not by the end of the month. That’s very quick.

If they say No, I think this theatre will tell me why (unlike Boca del Lupo). And I’ll consider all they say and maybe try again somewhere else — perhaps a theatre company that the Arts Club can recommend. Honestly: I think I can get past this first hurdle, perhaps not the next — it is much tougher — but I think I can do this one.

The breastplate is coming along. I made it Sunday, and felt ambivalent about it yesterday, so I added an “apron” to it — I flared it at the bottom and liked it much better. It’s very odd, for sure, but I like it and I think it will look good installed in a show.
