So, a month and a half ago I went to my first New Play Project performance, in the courtyard of the JFSB here on campus. It was fairly low-key, with just one row of audience members. I wasn't expecting much. But I was surprised. The ...
I went to see Mahonri Stewart's play Rings of the Tree tonight. It's brilliant. Really good. It runs through Saturday, so if you have the chance to go see it, do it. You won't regret it. I don't really want to spoil anything, which leaves me ...
A long time ago one of my friends told me that the music to Jane Eyre (the musical) was amazing. I couldn't find it anywhere -- iTunes, the library, anywhere -- until a few days ago when I checked again and it was indeed on iTunes. So I ...

Just got back from watching BYU's production of Arsenic and Old Lace. Throughout the first half, I noticed that my laughs felt hollow, like they were just on the surface and there was nothing behind them. I could tell that it wasn't necessarily because the humor wasn't funny, ...
I've been spending every spare moment working on the book, and we're getting even closer. It's a good feeling. :) I did go to see The Boxcar Children tonight, however, and it was a nice warm fuzzies sort of play. Other than that, I haven't done much ...
