I was cleaning out my apartment when I found some old Foreverendia rehearsal notes from February 18, 2010.  They contain many words of wisdom from our director, Brian Tuttle.  Let's see what I wrote:

• Don't worry about props; just act!
• Right now the audience is ahead of us.
• Life is a run-on sentence.  (Until someone stabs you.)

ACT I:

• Don't exhale, dude.
• Keep the essence of Lawrence.  Careful not to be precocious.
• Have energy to find my echo.
• Make that "yes and" happen in scene 1.
• Remember my hand is upstage.
• The monologue should be a run-on sentence.
• Play with my hand more before touching Bailey's face.
• Napkins.  Red handkerchiefs.
• Good pace!  (yay)

ACT II:

I still talk like RoboCop.  But everything else I think I fixed, more or less.  Cheers!

   -Evan (Lawrence)

Don't worry, we haven't turned the theatre company into a den of thieves.  We are instead working on our fourth show of the season, The Great Heathersby Heist!  Brian Tuttle's first draft of this new work was read out loud for the first time last week amid lots of laughter and bad accents.  You like Transylvanian accents too, right?

The Great Heathersby Heist

World Premiere by Brian Tuttle
The Heathersby House is a beautiful museum in the heart of Boston that features a priceless heirloom art collection.  Unfortunately, the museum is only famous for one thing: theft.  Twelve years ago thieves made off with $20 million in paintings.  Now three down-on-their-luck friends see opportunity where others see only empty frames.  If someone else could steal paintings, why couldn’t a trio of bumbling idiots make off with some artistic loot too?  In this world-premiering comedy, everyone comes for the art—but they stay for the heist.

Weekends of April 8 & 15, 2011
