Hoorah! Caloo-calay, I've done it! I've finished that play I was working on. The play is tentatively title Arizona Rose, but I hate that name. But that's not really important. The important thing is that this is my first full length play, that is a play more than one hour in length. This is a huge weight off my sholders as I've been trying to finish this play for a long time now. I say "finished," a play is never finished until it's up on the stage. And even then it can be altered. But, I've gotten the play to a place where I am generally happy with the plot and the flow of the primary story. Most of all I think it is the best ending to a play that I've ever written without becoming crazy or outlandish.
I really want to have a party and have people over to read through the play. This is so that I can get an idea of how it reads, and most of all, see if other people like it. The last version of this play had a reading of this kind, and I got some great feedback that I used, and I believe made the play a lot better. Also, the comments that were made here by all of you were very helpful and I think that I was able to accomplish what I wanted based on the comments here.
I will be emailing people I want to play what parts, but if there's anyone here in the Baytown/Houston area who would like to read with us, let me know. I want to make a whole night of it. The cast list here at the end of the post.

Good job, man. I know you have been working on that one for a while. Let me know how I can help.
All right! Congratulations!! I'm glad you were able to get it done. Now the real fun begins: readings, stagings, re-writes, and a full production. I would LOVE to be involved in a reading. Any chance you'll be doing it in South Lansing?
I see myself as Mervin. Of course, I'm not in my forties, but I can play mid-to-late-thirties in a pinch. Okay. How about this, I could do the role via phone or videoconferencing.
(Can you tell that I'm desperate to get back on stage -- or do anything theatrical -- after a 5 1/2 year absence?)
Kyle,
I want to read. I love to read because I don't have to memorize anything and I like it. I can read the mother. Besides I like parties and I can bring something. Just let me know when.

Have a great day tomorrow. Da,da,da,dummmmm!!!
