KlezNut! (again)

[ellenkushner]

Spent today doing revisions on KLEZMER NUTCRACKER, while a golden NYC autumn day unrolled outside my window. Have I mentioned that deliasherman is the most brilliant script doctor who ever lived? Insights, that girl has! She shared them with me before sloping off to enjoy the Medieval Fair at the Cloisters.

Some people can write for 3-6 hours every day. I seem to be more of the "write all day every 3-6 days (or weeks)" school.

I have, however, cracked most of Act 2, I believe.

Here are two scenes from last year's performance: Tante Miriam's entrance' (played by yr obdt in a swoopy cloak) and the Glorious Peacock scene.

The show will be mounted again by NYC's Vital Theatre Co., running from 5 Dec - 3 Jan. The script will be somewhat improved - and I'm told there will be more dancing (some possibly involving small children from Harlem). Auditions are at the end of this month.

The last few weeks have been...interesting. There are colors changing everywhere and lots of good honest work to be done and chances for a myriad of thrills and today-- you get brighter.
Happy birthday Ellen.
