Floating in a Sea of Fairytales

The Fairy Tale Project is going well. We have space, we have plays, and we have a great group dynamic. Last night we had a "let's get serious" rehearsal. It was very sobering. Most of what we had done up to this point was funny. For rehearsal Elizabeth and I asked each person to be prepared to talk about two issues that are important to them. To serious issues. Mine were child abuse/foster care and cancer. Which both have personal stories attached. What I found interesting was that all eight of the collaborators had two different issues that they wanted to talk about. I think some of the plays that are going to come out of that rehearsal are going to be really good and will serve as a great balance to all of the hysterical stuff we already have.
