Ben Klier: Random thought #2: I’m stoked about drinking fake booze onstage today. It’s only slightly less exciting as drinking real booze later, when the show is over.

Ben Klier: Random thought #1: I could use the non-latex “latex” glove on all of my lines. I love prop jokes. It wouldn’t work, of course. But I’d be a happy actor.

Gillian Riley: When in doubt, put your butt in a corner.

All done. Printing out the copies now.

This is the part when I think that what I just wrote is mostly crap and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Or is any good. Or funny. But both times I have been proven wrong by wonderfully talented actors and directors so now I just have to hand this beast over and say a prayer.

YAAAAA sleepy okay. Time for beds.

I can't stop laughing at my own stupid meta-joke that probably no one else will get. Which means it's going in the play!

This could be funny. With the right people. Hopefully it's the right people. I always feel this way at about this point, though, that what I have is really sub-par. I need to pull a rabbit out of my hat with these last 3 pages.


I really want to make a meta-reference so that the audience knows that I know that this concept has been done before...but then I think that maybe it's too on the nose. I might delete it. Okay fuck it, I'm deleting it.


(fun fact: it was a "Truman Show" reference)

I may have gotten too high concept for my own good. Just the concept mind you, the execution won't require anything technically crazy.

It's not funny yet. I hope it gets funny. 4 pages in.

I find myself not writing for the actors per se, but trying to make sure everyone gets a decent role/enough "stage time". Don't want to give out any small parts. That's the actor in me talking.

Luigi Pirandello is also my best friend.

I'm tired already. Uh-oh.

BUT. Wikipedia is my best friend.
