Saturday's vocal rehearsal was a lot of fun. As I told the cast, ALL backstage conversations will be spoken in a Standard British dialect beginning with our first round of working rehearsals February 22. This will insure that our cast will speak as authentically as possible from the stage.

Oh yeah...cast and crew...let's go see THE SHAPE OF THINGS at Furman February 13. It sounds like it will be really great:

"How far would you go for love? For art? What concessions would you make? What price would you be willing to pay? Such are the painful questions explored by Neil LaBute in ... THE SHAPE OF THINGS - a modern day retelling of the fall of man. After a chance meeting in a museum, Evelyn, a sexy, aggressive artist, and Adam, a shy, insecure student, become embroiled in an intense affair. Before long, it veers into the kind of dangerous, seductive territory that LaBute does best, as Adam, under Evelyn's steady influence, goes to unimaginable lengths to improve his appearance and character. Only in the final and shocking exhibition, which challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about art and love, does Evelyn reveal her true intentions."

What do you think?
