And for the end of the Tour…
Hello friends,
It has been a wild last couple of weeks, with LOTS of storytelling. I’ve been telling stories at a wide variety of new locations, and have had fun at each spot. What has been most rewarding, however, is the learning experiences I’ve had. This tour has brought a new focus on just how different each audience can be. I have found that both difficult and exciting. I’m particularly excited because I believe this new awareness will help me prepare even more for my next tour. I think I need to have a wider selection of stories that I might tell, just so I can better tailor my production to each individual audience when I arrive at the location.
And now, as this tour comes to a close, I prepare for another exciting and new experience: starting tonight I will perform two programs of Lord Buckley’s stories. I’ve been working with my wonderful friend, Crystal Newby, for this production, and we are both excited about it. We’ve played with the material in such a manner that, while we are altering the pieces slightly, I believe Lord Buckley would be excited by all of the changes. And it had been a pleasure to work with my father on lights. He has put together a fun little lighting flip that I believe will accent the show in a whole new way. It does feel as if we are exploring storytelling in a brand new manner. If any of you can make it, I highly recommend coming by; it’s certainly storytelling with a FLIP, and it is fun.
Well, time to run, we’ve got one last rehearsal before the show, and then we begin, and it’s gonna be HOT!
