Avl[t] Rehearsal Log

This evening was our first reheasal/banquet for Tomorrow is the Question. We talked a lot about politics, watched clips from a couple of great documentaries, chatted about ourselves and bit and then read the play. I was greatly relieved to discover that it's actually pretty funny in some places, and only terribly in a couple of places. So, more work to do, but at least I know the labor put in so far has been worth it.

Here's one thing we watched.

Tomorrow night we re-convene to begin (for some, continue) Viewpoints and Suzuki training and to start staking claims to text. Stay tuned, true believers.

Oh, and here's an excerpt from the show that went over especially well.

Before the New Deal, if you got old and starved, well, tough luck. If you lost your job or your home blew down in a hurricane, too bad, Jack. If the power company charged you half your wages for your light bill; or the grain monopoly refused to buy your crop for more than the price of dirt; or if you worked 60 hours in the steel mill with no overtime pay; or if you joined a union and got busted over the head, it was that's business, buddy.
