1st rehearsal

Well, more of a read-through really. We met Stacey DePass, our female actor/singer -- she's great, funny, really versatile, able to switch from one character voice to another in a split second.

Also Stephen Latigan, who's the head guy for Grip Radio. Not really an actor though -- I think we're going to proceed without him. The third collaborator, Mark Ellis, couldn't be there yesterday, we'll be meeting him this evening. His reputation is that like Stacey, he's really talented.

We also met Kerry, who will be Stage Technician for us. Very cool guy, lots of talents, he's into electro-acoustics, spatial sound, Darren's whole thing with 8-channel surround sound. And Darren of course -- also a great guy, very helpful.

Oh yeah, and a bunch of other people at CKLN, where in addition to the read-through (of "OBL on the Half-Shell," the Saturday night script) we recorded voice parts for Jim Whelton's radio play. He's the one also known as Harmon e. Phraisyar. Or maybe that's just the name of his show.

Got back around 8 and spent the next 6 hours crafting all of the CD cues for the Friday script, "Transistorized Feedback." We rehearse that one tonight at 7, I'm still not finished but pretty close. But I still have to do the same thing for the OBL script -- maybe by Wednesday I can get free of this editing phase of the project! Or as they say here in Toronno, "pro-ject" (with a long "o."

Time for breakfast.
