2 new plays stirring in the brain

by David LeBarron

So on top of my ridiculous current commitments I have 2 new plays stirring in my brain. I need to set them aside til I finish my immediate obligations. They're both dark and exciting. I figure if i mention them here I'll have to get back to them! Both are pretty dance heavy. What's with that? And in a way, they are both fairy tales. Archetypes and stereotypes dancing, fighting and trying to reconcile demons they have bought into, or possibly have been convinced of their existence and power. ummm...

Fruit. Paint. Art.

OK I know that sounds a bit like Eat Pray Love but it's better-er-er. I'm pretty darn close to finishing When Carrots Ruled the World. It' short poem-ish thing I wrote for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It just kind of amused me. BUT everyone who has read it loves it so I figured "ok let's make into a book." Then I knew I had to hire an artist. Even a cheap artist is pricey so I was wondering how I could cut corners and then it came to me: remember when you were a kid and you cut shapes into potatoes and then dipped them into ink and made wood-block-like art? Well why not do that with carrots and...

April 1st show and I’m not foolin’

monologues, performance, Stories, storytelling
My collection of children's stories for GLBT youths and children of GLBT parents is confirmed! Sunday April 1st at 2pm! I'm telling 4 stories: Mary-Anne and Ginger; The Shrew, the Shoe, a King and a Prince; boy-girl-girl-boy; and soon to be world famous, The Sassy Scarf Story! I'm excited to be working with Yolanda Baños who has already told me to slow down like 14 times! It's technically only a workshop but you know me: rehearse rehearse rehearse! The stories just make me giggle and the words leap off my lips. It's weird. If you would have asked me years ago if I'd write GLBT children's stories I would have looked at you like you were a crazy person. ...

Thematic Morning Music

by David LeBarron
storytelling, writing thoughts
If you were peaking through my windows this morning, I was underwear clad jumping around to this because I solved through a missing piece in a story. Who knew finding things to count would be so hard? And of course, as always, the answer was incredibly obvious. I mean so obvious I'm not going to tell you because you'll thinkest me a stupid of the head. Now back to the drawing pad and make this counting book happen! Literally. I'm drawing it. For real. Don't be scared. Think less Degas and more silly sketches from a creature with no opposable thumbs. And I mean that in the most self-aware-life-affirming way. ...
