"Mona" recap

I'd been meaning to post a quick recap of the stage reading Thursday night.

Many thanks to all the people who came to check out the play! I was so very happy with the cast for putting on a great performance!

After the reading during the Q&A, I heard good feedback on structure, characters, and how particular scenes worked or didn't. There was a lot of stuff thrown at me in a short amount of time but I took good notes and worked hard to capture it all. I came away with a lot of good ideas.

Even more helpful than the actual suggestions and the questions after the show was the response I could hear from the audience during the show. When did they laugh, when didn't they. There was a good deal of rustling and shifting in the seats at the start of one scene in particular. That's very valuable feedback and as important than the stuff people actually say later.

So. I'll get around to working on the play again soon. I started it 10 years ago and I've always come back to it eventually. Would love to see it get produced someday ... but it needs some good work until then.

Again, thanks to the people who came out for the show!
