Update

I can't believe it's been so long since my last entry! I'm still a member of the New Writers' Group Inc. and their treasurer. I haven't done much writing over the past year ( probably because I discovered Facebook! Must admit I was addicted for a while, but now the interest is normal!) but did work (2008) on the Anthology (with Sue doing the final editing, covers etc), and was the anonymizer for ZineWest.
In 2007 I directed and wrote a Pantomime "Cinderella" keeping to the more traditional storyline, which was performed in January 2008 (HMDS). It was marvellous directing something I had written as I could change/ add characters at will. Later in 2008 I was in the chorus for Les Miserables (HMDS) and then Seusical (EUCMS) - both fun. This is the 3rd production of Les Miserables I have been in!
Late last year I took on a 10 minute play to direct for the Short & Sweet play Festival, held last month. I attended several audition days at Newtown Theatre to find my actors for a sci-fiction piece called "Multiple Choice" (written by Iain Triffitt and Brett Danalake). The girls (all playing the same character) were great - so, many thanks to Stephanie, Stefanie, Vanessa, Justine and Mairead. It was fun and the audience enjoyed the piece.
So, what's for this year! Work is busier than ever, and I have a daughter doing Yr 12. I'd like to see some more writing done this year. Thinking about entering a play for Short & Sweet.
