Let Go

Given some time to think over the way casting went, I have decided to leave the past in the past. I just want to make the best of this situation by proving my dedication to theatre. For that reason, I will continue to contribute my energies to making this production memorable. Besides Scapin, however, Kim and I have been continuing work on our The House of the Spirits script. With the monologues essentially complete, we are now spending class to work out our entire concept for the production. In doing so, we have added the character of Esteban to the production in order to recreate the journaling effect of the novel. He will provide the link between all the female characters as he essentially narrates the performance. I am comfortable, for the most part, with all the monologues save Clara's and Blanca's. Since these monologues were written by a classmate, I feel uncomfortable as to completely re-writing her work. She seems hesitant to make any changes to her writing, so I have simply left them as is for the moment. This is a problem I have discovered in working with a partner on a script. If this is any indication of how things might progress in the future, I think I will choose to complete my devising project alone.
