Last night I read/spoke to 64 people. You might call it a virtual success. No money though—couldn’t sell books or sign— no social distance. More anon.

But they liked me.

And today I had to go on with too much work. “Too much on your plate,” says Matthew. It’s amazing how far he can carry on with pat phrases and clichés. A lot of people do, have you noticed that?

Well, I’ll get there (where/?). Last night was the first of three readings I’m doing this fall. They’re different, but not so much. It’s just a different kind of communication. What might be a little tricky is a small collection of drama workshops in a school (specifically about improv and more specifically about dialogue and more specifically about play structure). I made the bookings last spring just before social distancing was imposed. we (I) have been offered the chance to rebook and go ahead as planned. But improv demands ensembles, or at last teamwork. Have to figure out how to do some ensemble work—pack kids into one screen?? Think about it. Any suggestions will be welcome.

I cannot keep my eyes open.

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrrow…
