THE FESTIVAL OPENS
We opened YANKEE TAVERN and FIFTY WORDS last night. Both plays had successful performances. Steven Dietz and Michael Weller were pleased with the performances and production. I received many positive comments from audience members at the reception. I am proud of this 2009 CATF Company. I am very interested in hearing your reactions to our work last night. Lets start on conversation…
Today we will open DEAR SARA JANE, FARRAGUT NORTH and THE HISTORY OF LIGHT. All five our our playwrights will have a live conversation with me and our audience at 4:30PM in the FRANK CENTER RM Mo8. So please join us as we “talk theater.” One of our Core Values is: “to create a profound and ever evolving relationship between the audience and the work.”
Hi Ed,
I really enjoyed my first ushering experience last night for Farragut North. The play was a really hard hitting and fascinating look at behind the scenes political intrigue. Have met many nice people involved with the festival and had fun at the party at the Entler. I met Heidi Niedermeyer (Molly) — she’s very charming in person and an excellent actress too. Her character was the only decent one in the play!
Ushering for History of Light at the Studio Theatre this afternoon.
Best regards,
Charlie

This was a great openng night for Elly and me… had a nice opportunity to speak with the author, Steven Dietz, who we sat next to. Only at the CATF does something like that happen.
