End of the Pre-Conference Retreat…
The pre-conference retreat ended on Sunday – it was intense! Each day the Playground area filled with playwrights, directors, designers, dramaturgs, and interns, and over the course of the weekend we read through every play as a group. Afterwards there was time for questions and comments. Hearing the plays read out loud gave them a lot more life than when they were just floating around in my head, and it was exciting to actually meet the people who wrote the scripts! Bill and I gave all the dramaturgs the folders we had spent the last few weeks putting together, and they all seemed very pleased with them!
Friday night we all went to the Philadelphia Art Museum after the day was over and had the chance to hear some jazz, look at some art, and get to know each-other better. Saturday night we went to a party on Boathouse Row where there was lots of wine and good food! Pictures will soon follow…
