For me, readings are a favorite part of the process in writing a new play. Yesterday was the first reading of my play-in-progress “Tombolo,” where I got to hear talented actors bring life to the characters and get feedback from smart folk about what parts of the story are working and not. The brave actors had to deal with speaking Italian, German, and pronouncing “Huachuca” and did an amazing job with a challenging monster of a story. It’s cool to get a play out of your head, even of it isn’t done, and take it for test run. Now it’s back to the lab!
