REHEARSALS:
The show will rehears in part time in November, and more intensely in
December, with lots of room for the holidays. It will preview and then

participant's conflicts over the holidays will be taken into account.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
"Blank Slate" is a large scale experiment in developing an original
stage play using an unusual collaborative process.
Based on the critically successful development of "The Matriarchs" for
Rude Guerrilla Theater's 7 Deadly Sins collection, implementing tested techniques that
directors, R.J. Romero & Scott Williams have developed and implemented
in previous shows at other venues, an ensemble cast will be guided
through a series of exercises, improvisations, and collaborative
development activities in order to generate a final text. This
production will deliver a world premiere original script in 8-12 weeks
of rehearsal.
This is not an "improv" show, nor is it "sketch comedy". Both those
forms are fun and entertaining, but the goal here is entirely
different. Together the creative team and the ensemble will discover:
character, conflict, catharsis; and create an original story to tell
together.
Let go of any expectations, this show will be unusually unique!
This show will begin at the opposite end of the spectrum from most
productions -- with a production team, hand selected actors, and
literally-- a blank slate. Every member of the production will have a say, and be
expected to contribute to the development of the script. The creative
team, lead by Romero & WIlliams, will continually take in the words,
actions and other contributions from the cast and
