Still Getting Ready

If you happen to be in the Chicago area, the staged reading of my comedy-drama, Ready Or Not, is set for Sunday, March 5, 3:00 pm, at the Beverly Art Center, which is at 111th and Western, in Chicago.  There's no charge for admission.

On first nights, the author is traditionally drunk.  But at developmental staged readings, the author is supposed to be sober and studious, learning from the way the action plays and the way the audience reacts.

One tip I've read about the audience is this:  If they're quiet, that's a good thing - they're hanging on every word.  

On the other hand, if they rustling about restlessly, opening candy wrappers and clearing their throats, you've lost them.

For a comedies, of course, what's very much sought after
Is uproarious laughter.
