So… Scratch is done. For now, anyway. I’ve still got to get the full video, there’s a review I hear is coming, and I have yet to fully decompress. But people keep asking me: How do you feel about it?

Well the short answer is I feel incredible. I’m thrilled with my performance, and with the hard work and dedication of Penny Pollak in the booth and Mike, Natalie, and Murdock at rehearsals and in their performances. It was truly a team effort, and against a LOT of fucking odds, we pulled it off and made it really special for the people in the audience. But why take my word for it? Here’s notes from Nick Courage, who was in the audience that night: http://amutualrespect.org/words/2009/11/20/scratch-clip

A word to all who came (and to all who would have come): You are amazing. Your support, encouragement, and friendship are so important to me. What happened on Nov 15th does. not. happen. without. all. of. you. That is fucking gospel and I will never forget it.

There is a section of about 20-25 lines in “Audition” that were written in 1999, and there are another handful of lines from that scene that I wrote about a week before the play went up. This was truly a journey or ten years for me, and it will be, when I die, one of the singular events of my life, that first performance. and it was a god damn triumph.
