The E Word

Last night, Carra Martinez and Sarah Saltwick stopped by for tea and cake (no kidding) and some brainstorming.  We started with the premise  "You have 12 full time staff and $12,000.  Now go."

What were we going to do with all those resources?  Give the audience of The E Word the time of their lives!  See, plays don't have to be just about what happens on stage after the curtain speech.  There's that half an hour of waiting for that curtain speech once you've arrived.  There's the wait in the bathroom line at intermission.  There's the wait after the play to say congrats while the actors get out of costume.  We set out to banish The Wait.  After all, kindergarteners have very short attention spans.

We cooked up an entire gourmet stew of fun things to experience.... People would come away from this night freshly inspired.  Perhaps we'd create a new Newton, a new Nobel Laureate, a new international diplomat, and send him to the Middle East. Alas... we only have one volunteer (Sarah) and about $200.
