per_soloI volunteer.
At the COJ meeting this last weekend, I volunteered to write the play for next year.
Now, the fun is how it came about. For YEARS I've had a play idea that a friend and I worked out some basics for..well, that one doesn't fit for next year quite that well. Then we got to talking that two of the BEST plays that our convention has done, I directed.
Kick ass scripts, but still, I did a good job of putting them on.
Well, one of the plays I directed (the first) had a great cast, a great hook, and great script, and other such. LOTS of people loved it. And, thanks to Royalcrow, I've got it on DVD.
The end of the play had the lead character basically activating a warp drive on his back, and disappearing.
The hook is that the character appears in Callahan's place. A little worse for wear, but still alive. And then to tell a Callahan's story, with this newcomer.
No idea how the rest of it will come, just yet, but I'm a fan of Callahan's, and the bigger kick is that as of RIGHT now, the author will be there.
I am amazingly looking forward to this. It will drive me just a little bit insane, but I think it'll be fun, others seem to love the idea, and it gets me back involved in one of the things I've missed most...drama. Not the "OMG Life is insane" drama that is sometimes my online existence, but actually putting a play together, trying to make it fun, and drawing like minded individuals along.
Several friends on this LJ were involved in that little play, back in 2001 (holy crap that seems forever ago..at least 3 lifetimes..). I figured a few at least might be amused to know that the play then is springboarding the play for next year.
I've already gotten a tacit ok from an actor in that play that yes, if the script is good, he's interested.
And yes, I'll need help. :-)
