Writing from the Play

As we continue rehearsing for the play, we've decided to focus our writing and development into material about dreams. As an ensemble, we are exploring dreams for ourselves, for the people in our lives, and our community as a whole.

Lala, who's photos were featured in our last post, is also a member of the cast. At last Monday's rehearsal, she worked on this piece, about a dream for  her community:



A dream of completion:
There is a group of people that struggles with confidence, abuse, addiction, physical complication, illness and finance.
Everyone struggles and my vision is that completion would manifest
For the several people that struggle with the same issues.
I would educate on resources, self help, motivate and help create solutions.
The only challenge that there would be is dealing wtih the many behaviors people come with.
You can only help someone
As much as they are willing to help themselves.
