Front Row: Matt Jackson, Monica Leong, Matt McMonagle, David Carr Berry, Max McCal, Laura Lahti, Adam Amler, Adam Van Derr Veer, and ME-Stacie Sells. Back Row: Andrew Rahman and Kevin VanScoder

This picture explains it all. The excitement. The Fun. And the shock at how great the response I got from the cast and the audience. You have no idea the joy a writer gets when they hear their words spoken. It was scary and exciting at the same time, leaving my face looking like that in the picture for most of the reading. And where to begin with the actors? I was so thrilled with my cast. They absolutely killed it and I could not have done it with out them!!!  It’s amazing how much they brought life into the characters and in ways I never would have expected or guessed. BIG THANKS TO THEM!

Also this reading was the first time sound and visuals were included by Andrew Rahman. It brought the musical to a whole new level and I can’t wait to work with him more.  And as always must give props to the great narrator, Kevin VanScoder making sure the audience could visualize the setting and scenes during the table reading.

There will be more pictures to come from the reading but right now I just want to SHOUT FROM THE ROOF TOPS how amazingly, magical the reading was and I can’t wait to take my notes and make this play even better!

I can’t believe my musical baby is growing up so fast!

2 Days…..

The Keanu! The Musical San Francisco Table Reading is almost here. It’s so close I can taste it!

We all know Keanu Reeves has worked with many legendary actors and directors on multiple occasions through out his career. It only made sense to replicate that consistency with my cast and bring in my ever so talented friends.

What is a table reading you might ask?

A table reading is when a production organizes a reading around a table of the script by actors but only the speaking parts. It also helps the director/writer make notes on areas that might need work. It’s not only a helpful exercise but a more relaxed feel, where we can let loose and have a little fun.

My cast of friends range from Improv Super stars, Imaginative Directors, Magical Musicians and Nerd/Food Scientists! Who could ask for more? This colorful cast of characters I’m proud to call my friends. I’m thrilled and excited to hear how they will breathe life into their characters and how it’ll shape the show!
