Egolution Debuts
A few weeks ago when I wrote about creating a lot of material on ego and narcissism, I alluded to the fact that there was a method to my madness. Today, I’m very excited to share the project that I’ve been slowly building toward for the past six or seven months. It can best be described as a one-person show; hopefully something that has merit in both theatres and stand-up comedy clubs.
The show is called Egolution and it’s all the work that I’ve done on the topic of ego assembled into one performance. The first draft of the final script was submitted to my director yesterday (at over 4,300 words). Now the hard part begins: revisions, changes, improvements (hopefully), and cuts, for the better part of a month.
Egolution will premiere in Calgary in Motel at The Epcor Centre For The Performing Arts from May 19 to 22, 2010. It will run as part of an event called Me, Myself & You; which will combine this show with Cory Mack’s one-woman show, The Goose Queen of Kindersley. Each of us is at a point with our work where input from an audience is required to make it better so we’re holding these performances so that we can “workshop” the pieces.
Tickets are available online (through Eventbrite):
www.MeMyselfAndYou.ca
Tickets will be $15 each, but there is a special discount code for $5 off listed on my Facebook Fan Page. That code will work until May 5 and then it will expire.
I’m also very excited to announce who that Karen Goerzen will be directing the debut of this piece. She was my drama teacher in high school (mentioned in my post a few weeks ago), who has since retired from teaching and is working on a wide range of projects. It’s very exciting for me to have her on board and to be working together again. With her input I’m quite sure that the audiences are in for a great show.
The show only has a small number of seats available (about 50 each night), so reserve your tickets soon to guarantee your spot.
