When not at the keyboard, you may find me roaming my native habitat.

@georgetakei If Ann is to believed, only a full blooded member of one of our North American Indigenous People would qualify. Maybe they SHOULD be the one running things since anyone that came after them did not apply for entry and were there illegal aliens.

Think about it 🤔

@georgetakei Umm . . . Leavitt . . . you cited the correct animal, but the wrong end.

Another version of DEI

@steaphan Not really understanding your question.

I live in a 55+ community and you must live here to participate in our clubs. Other than that I do not have an answer for you.

@steaphan Piloted a production . . . no. I have performed in two with my community's group and I used to narrate for Audible. I stopped doing the Audible stuff because it just did not pay well.

I have a first draft of my story formatted as a performance piece for the Readers' Theater group I'm in now. We do public domain old radio plays, so I tried to emulate that. Think sit down performances with just expressive voicing. Talked to the facilitator and there's a chance we'll try it for the final session in two weeks.

I took some liberty with the exposition and divided it up so we are going to use four narrators. The purpose of that was so everyone in the group gets a chance to speak. If that is successful, I want to approach our community Theater Group to see if they are interested in it. Run time is about half hour, so it could fit with another short piece.

Call me Dragonman . . .

Allegedly retired, I am still pretty busy with projects. I was in a Writers' Club a while back and produced some short stories that have met with some success at private readings.

Current project is trying to turn one of these stories into a one act play, of sorts. My challenge is the original is mainly exposition with only some dialog.

I am contemplating this as a "readers theater" type piece, where performers stay seated, but emotively read the lines.

Hints and suggestions on making this a more play-like experience would be appreciated. We have a community theater club that I am eyeing as a possible venue, and I think this can be as good as some of the other locally authored productions have been!
