The Limitations of Genetic Technology ROCKED opening weekend!

We opened The Limitations of Genetic Technology this weekend. The preview on Friday night was rough, but Saturday night was awesome and today, though played to a small house, was also a good show. The process of putting up a new play is always such a roller coaster. You don't know what the end game looks like, so there is this kind of blind faith that you follow as an actor; that the director and producers and creative staff KNOW what it is that they want us as actors to do or create. Many times they don't. They are exploring it right along with you. It can be extremely frustrating at times and I personally sometimes just want to be told what to do. The challenge is in hanging in there, letting yourself make mistakes and take risks and stand there naked and uncomfortable. Our awesome director, David Watkins Jr. is really good at developing new works. He makes you feel, in that crazy, uncomfortable and vulnerable place, comfortable and safe and guided. And it pays off: When you open the show and it flows from one moment to the next and the audience goes right along for the ride, well, that is simply magic.

As a final treat: Here is an industrial that is part of the play. Tempted?



Congratulations to our amazing creative team: Luis Reyes for his wonderful play, David Watkins Jr.'s inspired direction, and OffChance Productions; (Steven Calcote, Luis Reyes, and Victoria Watson, and co-produced by Reena Dutt) for producing.
