News, Nothing Profound

Bit the bullet and put up a new website:  tommytrull.weebly.com. I know, boring name, but it's functional.

Almost six months into living here in Charlotte, and things are trucking along nicely. Just finished directing a production of Yasmina Reza's play ART for Three Bone Theatre here in Charlotte, and had a blast doing so. Worked with the excellent actors Joe Rux, Kristian Wedolowski, and Glenn Griffin. Excellent review of the show here, if you'll allow me to brag. (Why else would I have a blog?)

Two long writing projects in the works: a screenplay called THE BOOK OF RIGHT AND LEFT, and a stage play called ROGUE BURGUNDY CRUSH. Feeling very good about both of them, but (like with all of writing), you just never know. Experimenting with writing the screenplay out of order, and that's been ... I don't know, I'll have to tell you what I think when I finish with it. This one has been the most heavily outlined, and the process that I've used for writing it has been significantly different from past projects. I don't know if it's something I would do for a stage play, but then again there's something about a stage play that has to feel like a consistent breath, or at least a consistent event.

Off to bed.
