Back to work!
It was one of the best nights of theater we’ve had in a long time: the seriously silly antics happening on stage, the mix of all experiences in the cast, the low-stakes-high-reward entertainment audiences were experiencing. It truly reinvigorated our love for community theater, and we’re taking that appreciation with us as we begin a facilitated strategic planning process.

Directing ‘The Scribbler’ after years away from theater
I stepped into directing feeling like I was pretending to read again. Luckily, Kyle’s writing cultivates an opportunity for discovery by asking us to learn by being silly-dumb. Usually, we have to learn by being stuffy-smart. In the world of The Scribbler, we start from a point of absurdity and find that our potential is limitless.
Scribbling The Scribbler
During my year-long stint living in Rome, I visited a small under-the-radar museum near Piazza Venezia. It was there I learned about the role of the scrivener in the Middle Ages: someone whose job it was to read and write when no one else could. I thought it would be very funny if that person also couldn’t write and was just pretending. Thus began a five-year process of bringing The Scribbler to life.
Marching Towards Our Next Production
A working website is especially important because we are marching full steam ahead, barreling towards The Scribbler. Our next production is set to be our biggest show yet with an impressive budget, exciting additions to the script, a stellar new cast and director, and a full production team.
Working On a Work-in-Progress
The would-be stage manager reading stage directions is now the host of Spiral Theater’s Mystery Radio Hour. The cast is equipped with all the bells, whistles, shoe boxes, bowling balls, stalks of celery, metal thingies, and wooden whatevers to bring you in-the-moment practical sound effects.
Hardboiled Eggs. No Wait. Hardboiled Detectives
I learned about a centuries-old story that grave robbers had burgled the Stratford-upon-Avon tomb of William Shakespeare. Apparently, this common practice drew both trophy hunters looking to profit from rare artifacts, as well as people seeking to analyze the skulls of history's most prolific geniuses. Radar scans of the tomb indicate that Shakespeare’s skull may have in fact been stolen.
