Everywhere Signs Fall
photos by Rose Johnson
Finally, for my last blog post here at The Rake, we have rehearsal photos. Above: Paul Cram and Tracey Maloney. See more below.
Everywhere Signs Fall — "The most exciting play you'll see all year!" I actually do believe this to be true, but I'm willing to put it out there for debate. Come see the show. Tell me I'm wrong.
Dialogue
No pictures from the rehearsal yesterday. We forgot. Too many other things came up. Hopefully, we'll get them tonight, and I'll post them tomorrow -- which will be my last post and where I'll make a final pitch for you to pick up that phone and make a reservation.
The Play That Won't Go Away
This play, Everywhere Signs Fall, has been around my life in some form or another longer than any other play I've written. When I was 24 and still more of a person who said he was a writer than a person who wrote, I remember sitting at a bar somewhere with my girlfriend-at-the-time and the friendly bartender who knew us well enough to keep us in free liquor all night long. I said I wanted to write a memory play. I wish I could remember why, particularly, at that moment I wanted to write a memory play.
Things are Looking Up
I've got to remember to bring a camera to rehearsal so I can post some pictures on this blog. Right now, imagine a photograph that is so cool it makes you want to see Everywhere Signs Fall at Gremlin Theatre. I don't care what you picture as long as you trust your imagination and call 651-228-7008 for reservations.
Minnesota v. Chicago Actors
I’m from Chicago. Chicagoans are different than Minnesotans. Everyone is different than Minnesotans. OK, everyone is different than everyone, but I live in Minnesota now, so Minnesota is what I think about.
