Today was a snow day!  Now that I’m down south, a little snow goes a long way, and all my classes were canceled.  This allowed me to work on several side projects today, including a new piece I am particularly excited about: Woe is Me (working title).

This piece is heavily influenced by his lordship, Lord Buckley, and I believe it is my funniest work to date.  To give a brief summary of this piece, Woe is Me is a tall-tale (of sorts) that looks at a helpless romantics emotional journey after he is dumped.  I’m excited to share this piece because of both the sudden tone changes throughout the piece (moving from romantic to satirical in one sentence) and because this is my first work with the tall-tale story structure.  I’m also curious to see whether other people will find it as funny as I do.  We shall see…

I intend to premiere this piece at the Acoustic Coffee House, Johnson City, TN at the next ETSU Tale Tellers performance (Next Tuesday), but if not at this near date, expect the piece at the same event occurring next month (I believe it will be February 26th at 8pm).  Well, I’m done sharing my excitement with you.  I look forward to being able to share this piece with you and I hope you are all having equally exciting times.

Best,
Lethan
