Returning to Leaving Iowa

Tonight we met with the producers of our last play, Leaving Iowa. They would like to take the show on the road, so they met with the cast members this evening discuss the details and gauge interest.

If everything goes well, we would be traveling to theatres across the country and performing the show on weekends. Initially, performances would be limited to towns in Texas and Louisiana, but it could expand beyond if they are able to book shows in other locations.

The cast would arrive at the theatre on Friday afternoon and perform later that evening. We’d stay overnight, perform again on Saturday, and then return home late on Saturday night. It would make for some crazy busy weekends, but it sounds like a ton of fun!

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be part of a traveling show, and now I may get the opportunity to find out. I’ll have to schedule it around my day job, but they will give us plenty of advance notice so I should be able to take vacation on the days I need to travel.

The good news is that most of the hard work has already been done. We’ve already performed the play. We know the characters. We know the director. We just have to dust off the script, freshen things up a bit, and remember our lines.

It should be a breeze!

But first things first…where did I put that script?
