In the beginning, there’s always a bit of groping, bumping, and knocking over of things (hopefully not to a painful degree) until one finds the lights. I haven’t quite found the light yet.
If you’re interested in art, if you’re interested in theatre, this may prove to be a rewarding journey; this blog, at least this initial part of it, is to let people in, to be a part of, the act of creating The Whitman Piece, a Touchstone Theatre Production—a play for thirteen actors, musicians and chorus about…; well, let’s not get dragged into that quite yet.
I’d say it’s going to be messy, and a lot more like building a house or digging a ditch than anything sexy or profound. At least, that’s what it looks like from here, sort of on the bottom of things. Still, I think the experience of the play will be deepened by following its growth. You tell me.
Over the next few days, weeks, I’ll be posting and drawing your attention to these pages. Please forgive me if I, by mistake, step on your toe, or accidentally do something that has unfortunate or unintended consequences. Just tell me when you think I’m off (or on), and I’ll adjust. Welcome to the creative process.
Bill
