We've now worked our way into the third week of shows for La Llorona. It's a two hour play based on ghost, folk, and real stories. I'm really enjoying the show and we've received good comments and reviews on it. Here are all three reviews (in abc order) that I'm aware of:

Pegasus News
Star-Telegram
Theater Jones

It's been an overall good process. We arrived late to the rehearsal due to the mounds of snow that were dumped on DFW in mid February so the first weeks required some catching up but I think we were able to get where we needed to be. I'm disappointed in our low ticket sales as this is a new play by a local playwright but from what I hear about our other shows' audiences, we're selling decently.
I was inspired by Mike Daisey's performance of How Theater Failed America in Dallas last week but I was even more inspired by the DFW turnout and post show conversation. It's nice to see the theater community here merging for change. It's the first time here I've felt the restlessness and frustration that overwhelm me in NYC. It feels like a theater revolution could happen if we keep asking hard questions and facing dire truths!

It pleases me to announce that tomorrow La Llorona opens at the Sanders Theater. Opening night is sold out and the theater doesn't seat but around 80 seats so make a reservation if you'd like to come. This is a publicity shot of my friend Elizabeth Mason who plays my wife in the show.
