It was a hard decision and please throw your hat in the ring again for July if you were not selected!

REVISED!!! - June 23rd Harold Jam Cast:

Caeriel Crestin
Cody Dearing
Clifton Highfield
Thelma Faglie
Maitland Lederer
Chelley Pyatt
Adriane Shown

Those who were selected, chime in and select an opening for the performance on June 23rd. Thanks!

Textbook opening structures include:
-A cocktail party that ebbs and flows between conversations.
-Monologues that rotate among cast members.
-Invocation of the suggestion in the style of an occult ritual (It is, you are, thou art, I am).
-Organic involving morphing sound and movement exploration.
-Pattern game where word association is used to generate ideas, often referred to as a clover leaf because the pattern arcs out with associated words and returns to the suggestion, and is repeated two additional times.

I just had a show moved to the 23rd at 8pm, so I have to bow out this time.

I like all those suggested openings except the organic one! And if everyone else wants to do the organic one I would still have as much fun with that as possible.

Awesome, thanks scott!

I'm up for any of those openings, but my vote is for either a shared monologue or the invocation.

I'm looking forward to it!

Is "monologues" a single monologue as if we are all one character?
If it is NOT a single monologue, then I like that...
Also the cocktail party.
Thanks Scott
Though I know it isn't lady like, I'd rather be a smart-ass, than a dumb-ass.

I've revised the cast list for the Harold Jam on Sunday. My vote is for the shared monologue opening.

See y'all on Sunday night!!! Pumped.

peace,

Sorry I had to duck out so quickly afterwards -- I didn't realize how late the show usually goes. I had a wonderful time! Thanks, everyone!
