AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ...starting this blog with a scream sounded fitting, I think.  Well, we had our first preview last night for "Torture".  Jacki told us there would be 119 people there, and though that sounded like a pretty great number, sometimes 119 people can feel like 19 people.  And for a comedy such as this, that's never a good thing.  However, as the lights went up to begin this madness of a play and the 119 people saw two actors doing nothing more than "sleeping", giggles and chuckles commenced immediately and I knew right then that the night was ours for the taking.  A few glitches here and there throughout our first preview, sure... but nothing a couple days of rest and the start of a new year can't fix.  A new year with new hopes of moving Forward, not only with the progression of this play but with the birth of a new professional theater company.  Last night, 119 people gave me the courage and confidence I needed to truly believe this play has the power to move the masses with laughter.  And I can't think of a better way to start 2010 than with laughter... and maybe a little screaming.
