Woot, I am chair-dancing! My revision of Fire and Ice, she is finish! Almost a year after the first take, but I was kind of busy this year. :P
I've never before enjoyed rewriting - when I did it to get a story published at 20, I said that it was like cutting off my baby's arms and sewing them on backwards (not that I would have known). But this! This was fun. I shaved that puppy down from 129 pages to 99 (should be under two hours), tossed out two songs, and now have something that feels manageable instead of lumbering.
And now I must read everything the internet thinks about what I can do to get it produced. Unless you happen to know a theatrical company looking to do a cutting-edge apocalyptic musical with eight principles and six in the ensemble?

...And now you DO? Hmmm. I need to pay more attention to my niece.
In other, less snarky, news, you might contact Ryan Johnson, cause his wife is involved in all kinds of local theater thingies, including some pretty avant-garde schtuffs and plenty of musical schtuffs.

Either way, what's his contact infoz?
