- My “Baby Handlers” (L-R) Actors Joan Q. Scott, Gordon Danniels, Sheri Mann Stewart (Director), and Ivy C. Purdie
This past Wednesday I got together with director Sheri Mann Stewart and actors Joan Q. Scott, Ivy C. Purdy and Gordon Danniels (all fine folks) for a first table read and rehearsal of my short play, SAVED IN 17 SYLLABLES. It was a surreal but gratifying experience, hearing the words and characters once in my head and on my page now interpreted and personified by others.
It made me recall something I’d recently read by playwright/director/actor Angeli Primlani on the DCA Theatre blog regarding her thoughts on this process. She called it, “Adopted Moms, Birth Moms and People Who Throw the Baby in the Air.”
I’m amused by and appreciate her words, but in the end I’m trusting the process and believing my baby is in safe, capable hands.
