Workshop at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company

Deep breath. Allison said to me on the first day. A week later, we have a new show. One that we were able to share last night for the very first time, in front of an audience. It will never be the first time again. This was an intense week, for myself and for everyone involved in the project. We cried together, laughed, and worked harder than I knew possible to get this script right. We had a special group of people working together, and I look forward to the next workshop, writing more, and seeing this show develop. Thanks to everyone involved. You never forget your first, and I will never forget this week.
