master harold dance

Tesha Buss arrived on the scene yesterday. She's a fantastic choreographer and just a wonderful force. Guiesseppe and Wendell are both reticent about the dance - and reasonably so. It's tough: you're not a dancer and you gotta act like one.

Well - after a few hours of dancing, Guiesseppe and Wendell are doing wonders with the quick step and with the foxtrot. Tesha's energy makes you relaxed and makes the proceedings fun.

So - good things. Today we are going to run everything we've covered so far. Which is a lot. I am pretty shocked. I think we've covered through page 40 so far. That's close to 2/3 of the play. How did that happen? Well - first off, I think Wilson Chin's design is such that, well, it makes the action easier to move through. Also, Guiesseppe and Wendell have great familiarity with the material. Guiesseppe played willie about 15 years ago, Wendell has been working with the material throughout the past several years, and Clifton, well, Clifton is just good...

I am pleased.
