How I'm Putting My Theatre and Sci-Fi Geekdom to Good Use

So, this is a short post about one of my school projects which I'm really excited about. I'm in an Advanced Directing course where I get to choose a play--preferably a one act--that I will present as my final at the end of the semester. Now, the play I chose is called "Sex Lives of Superheroes" by Stephen Gregg. Don't worry, it's not rated anything above PG-13. It's about a guy who is down on his luck and is being taken advantage of by his ex-girlfriend, and to escape the woes of the real world, he imagines himself giving a lecture about the sexual themes and symbols of varying comic book universes, which is followed by a Q&A with members of the audience. I love, love, love this play, and I can't wait to present it.

My class has been working on the preliminary work before rehearsal, like finding images in the play and methodical analysis. But I've already had a reading with my core actors and I just need to cast two or three ensemble members, and then that's it. We can begin rehearsing in the studio theatre as soon as that work is done. Well... I also need get through the next week as a crew member for one of our main stage shows, and then I'll be good to go.

I'll update you with a little more on this at a later time. (Tee hee, I'm so excited!)
