First weekend of rehearsals for Lesser Seductions

(Looking for tickets to Lesser Seductions?) Rehearsals began this weekend for The Lesser Seductions of History.

What you may not have known is the ITBA asked all the winners to create an acceptance video. Well, we may have jumped on that opportunity a wee bit faster than some of the…

The Past From The Present Moment

So, during our discussion after the read through of the latest draft of The Lesser Seductions Of History, Michael Davis (our wonderful George) brought up a really interesting challenge inherent in the play: Showing past action in the present moment. The play follows ten characters through each year of the 1960s, and so is episodic…
