New York to Detroit to The Big Woods

I caught part of Magenta Giraffe's plays reading the other day, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of it and the amount of people that showed up with educated feedback. Tons of old college friends were there and here they are, in the middle of a city with one of the nations worst economies, thriving, and making theatre happen. I have been a part of many new theatre companies in New York. All of them seemed disorganized and unfocused, or else, unwilling to get a start compared to Magenta Giraffe. As I settled into a seat at a table in the back of Cass Cafe. The conversation centered around being able to exist anywhere that there is a theatre scene. It made me wonder if New York was just an over priced way of running away. Of course, if it weren't for New York, I wouldn't be the same person you see before you. As I begin peeling away the pages of research for my new adventure, I am happy know that the experiences I have this summer will further shape my experience, even if that experience is with a population of 75.
