Growing & Shrinking Freeze Tag

ESTAFest 2005, Day 2

After the hardy hotel breakfast, I joined in on the one "outside" activity planned for the weekend -- A walking tour of Historic Dover Delaware. Being a sucker for old building, I loved it -- I should have some photos up in the gallery soon. For lunch,

ESTAFest 2005, Day 1

OK, so I don't write a message for 6 months. But you can always count on a good ESTA Festival to get me talking. This year it is being held in Delaware -- just about the same length of drive as the Maryland one last year (Hate to think where their gonna

ESTAFest 2004 (Day 2 - Afternoon)

Sorry about cutting that short but I was late for dinner. Anyway, back to our story: Well, first of all, somehow a paragraph got lost form my last post (I'm writing off-line, so it's easier to add it here than correct it there). So, the short play "Fin

After breakfast, I was over to the college for the morning workshop session. Actually, this one was a repeat of the one I came in at the end of yesterday: "Script Analyst: Understanding the playwright's scenario" by Ward Dales, who is one of the adjudicators.

ESTA Fest 20004 Day 1

I'm writing from the lovely little town of Wye Mills, Maryland, the site of the Eastern States' Theater Association's 2004 Theater Fest. After a rather hellish drive down (lost an hour to traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike), the very second that I pulled

Yikes... It's been a month.

Ok, so, I've been a bit lax about writing this blog. Hey, it's not like people was hanging around wait for my next report. We all know this is just for some future researcher writing a biography of me years from now, after I win a Nobel Prize or something.

AACT Festival Day 4 (Sat June 28)

Today, I finally got up at a reasonable time and made the workshops on time. I caught the first half of the double session on “Building a better board of directors”, and then switched over to a session on getting in-kind contributions. After that I walked
