" The Lace " is now a monologue in ten scenes with a prologue and epilogue as well. The play originally written in 2018 was workshopped and revised in early 2019. It's first performance was at the Dickinson Island Summer Theaatre near Parry Sound in Ontario in August 2019. It was well received. As of September 2019, the play is scheduled for a benefit performance in Liverpool, Nova Scotia on October 27 and for another benefit performance in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia on November 8. Another performance has just been booked for October 24 in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia. As the venues tend to be very different, so must the staging adapt. For example, the prologue and epilogue were both originally written as audio visual pieces. However, many venues do not have that capability and so an alternative prologue and epilogue have been written to accommodate the more limited capabilities of those spaces. On large stages, the set for various scenes can be pre-set. Smaller spaces
This blog is for the purpose of reporting on past and future shows I have or will be performing in. Since 2019, these plays are monologues that I have written. Theatre on a shoe-string budget requires all the help it can get from social media. I trained as an actor and performed professionally in the 1970s before becoming a lawyer in the 1980s. In the 1990s and early 2000s, I performed occasionally , taking up theatre (monologues) again after my retirement from the practice of law in 2015.
