'Spring Awakening' & INMULABAL

Stephan:
I saw Spring Awakening (the Broadway show, http://www.springawakening.com/) last week, and was blown away! If you haven't seen it yet, and if you can still find a cheap ticket (it was selling at 50% capacity through previews...although, now it's officially open), I would highly recommend it. While not everyone I know who has seen it has been in love with it, I certainly am. Check out this music video (Spring Awakening Video), it may get you hooked. Hope you like it!

Also, I took part in a really cool reading this month for a new group that my former roommate (playwright/actor) Brian Pracht started with some friends. The group is called INMULABAL, and it is comprised of a bunch of actors and writers who met through the LAByrinth Theatre (Philip Seymour Hoffman & John Patrick Shanley's theatre group). INMULABAL has been meeting every week as a sort of "acting group" (like a "writing group" only for actors), where they perform for each other and bring in new exercises, ideas, and inspiration. A couple weeks ago they had their first "performance" where there were about 9 readings of new plays and short pieces. I was super impressed with the talent and the subtlety of the writers and actors. If you're interested, check out their google-group page (http://groups.google.com/group/inmulabal). Happy Holidays!
