Designers Arrive

So we picked our season on Wednesday night, and finalized it with Bob Moss--the interim artistic director--last night. I can't tell you what it is yet, because it's a big secret. But it's going to be awesome. Picking the season was surprisingly painless. Each of us directs one "Kidstuff" production (theater for young audiences), one play by one of the playwrights in residence this summer and one play that we brought with us (we each brought some options, so that we'd have flexibility for cast-sizes, tone, etc.). We did the whole season planning process with post-it notes.

The other news is that the designers have arrived! We invited them into our apartment last night for a late night welcome, and got to look at their portfolios and talk about their work a bit. This afternoon, they got their design assignments and they're reading the plays right now. The design meetings for Rotation #1 (there are 4 rotations over the course of the summer, each with three plays) start tomorrow night. So this is a short blog entry, cause I gotta go re-read my Rotation #1 play about a gamillion more times. Aack.

Oh yeah, and tonight we ate dinner at the Moosewood Restaurant (of the Moosewood cookbooks)!!
