Yes, the end is near. The end of The Game’s Afoot. We finished our second weekend of production. One more weekend left. Three more performances. And already I can feel myself missing the show. It is such a fun production. It’s silly. It’s ridiculous. And we’re having a blast. The audience seems to be enjoying…
I’m a deadlines kind of person. It’s often difficult for me to focus on a task unless there’s a deadline. Especially when it comes to writing. The Hamilton Fringe has a playwriting contest which I’ve applied to a few times. I even won it once. I’ve intended to apply more times than I have, though.…

Now after weeks of preparation, the actual performance is around the corner. The Game’s Afoot opens on Friday. And we have started Tech Week. That means we’re rehearsing with our costumes. And the lighting cues. And sound cues. It’s like doing the show, but without the audience. The clock is ticking. There’s still a couple…
We open The Game’s Afoot a week from tomorrow. And I need to do the thing I dislike the most. Promoting the play. I find it harder to do that than remembering my lines. It’s such a strange thing. I don’t mind telling people that I’m in a show. But it feels weird trying to…
