Approval has been granted by the esteemed Committee of the University of Canterbury Comedy Club to proceed with a production of my play Green Room, sometime in May.
Karen’s done an excellent job preparing the proposal and a budget. She’ll be directing, and I’ll be assistant-directing and on-the-fly script editing during some workshop sessions. We’ll be running for eight shows over two weeks, with two complete casts - one of experienced comedy actors and one of understudies who’ll be guaranteed some yet-to-be-determined amount of real stage time.
Karen also stuck into her proposal a bit about how I’d be publishing the play later on, and how prestigious it would look for the book to have “First performed by the University of Canterbury Comedy Club in 2004″ in the front. I hadn’t thought of publishing, but now it seems like it’d be a shame not to, somewhere down the track.
