A Fruitful Process

Written by M.E.H. Lewis, playwright participating in the INCUBATOR Series with Infusion Theater.

This has been a wonderful and fruitful process. I discovered things about the play that were completely hidden from me before, things that excite me. Right now I’m really enjoying the direction the play is taking, a richer and more complex direction, less realistic and linear. Without access to actors and rehearsal space, I don’t think I would have discovered this.

And it’s a fairly difficult direction. The number of characters on stage and the layered tonal effect of the dialogue are difficult to present clearly on the page. Being able to work with Mitch and the cast has helped me figure out which parts work and how to explain this vision. I’m continuing to work with this terrific group to expand and hone the play, and I’m eager to see where it takes me.

I’m grateful to the DCA and InFusion Theatre for this remarkable opportunity.
