Rewrites!

We’re in the thick of it with THE END OF THE WORLD (WITH PROM TO FOLLOW) at West High School in Torrance, CA. I always do a lot of rewriting during the first production, and this play is no exception. I love how changing one word in a sentence will make all the difference. Of course, when you’re changing an “it” to a “that”, you’re frequently met with puzzled expressions from the actors (and occasionally the director). Why in the world would you need to make that small change? But putting together the puzzle that is the final draft of a play is one of my favorite parts of the process.
