Open Wardrobes

Lakeshore's 10-minute play festival wrapped up last night for another year. As a 10-minute play is a "flash of theatrical lightning" (as others have called it), so too is the festival. After a few individual rehearsals with our own show, we all come together for a few tech rehearsals, then the whirlwind of 6 shows in 4 days. Then... it is over, and the process begins again. (In fact, they are already accepting submissions for next year's festival.) It was a joyous, if tiring, week. I was reunited with many of my Greenies, scattered throughout various productions, as well as other old friends from last year's festival and other shows. I also met new people, wonderful and talented, who all together made this a great festival. I think the festival is the perfect way to crown the season, a way to celebrate new plays, to laugh, and bring together so many talented members of the Lakeshore family in one final hurrah before the summer... then the fall and it all begins again. I can't wait.
