		<title>Living Death Mask</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You have to make a negative before you make a positive. You begin by cutting plaster bandages into small, irregular shapes.  You sit around with your fellow mask makers and cut the bandages into a bucket.  You get warm water in separate buckets and then you break into pairs. You cover your face in petroleum [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Very Good Place to Start</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the film version of The Sound of Music, Julie Andrews is telling the VonTrapp children&#8211;who have never heard music&#8211;about the scale. She gets a little ahead of herself quickly and starts whizzing up it, but she stops around &#8220;la&#8221; and realizes that they&#8217;re just not ready for that yet. Then the orchestra kicks in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vocal Boot Camp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 57 Main Street, audience members could put their feet up on the stage if they were sitting in the front row.  There were only a few rows after that, and acting in that space was much more like film acting.  We didn&#8217;t have to think too much about volume and the nearness of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rehearsing in the Kitchen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Mommy?  Can you watch me?&#8221; &#8220;Not right now.  I&#8217;m rehearsing.&#8221; A few seconds pass.  Lex goes back into discussing Helena.  She&#8217;s half a sentence in. &#8220;Are you still rehearsing?&#8221; Theatre for us has always been a delicate balance of real life and art, but now, in the absence of a space, we have retreated to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At 5:30 we took our bows for the last show at 57 Main.  At 6:00, they came to take our lights.  It was more finality than I was prepared for and an already emotional day was ending on a down note. Instead of one last ecstatic dance party after one last show to a sold [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going Rogue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are two stories to write at the moment.  First, the tale of saying goodbye to the hold space.   Second, the story of where we go from here.  Ever the optimist, I begin with the future. “Let’s go rogue!  Theatre without walls!  Our children will be running around at our feet as we perform.  We’ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>A note from our director</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is very exciting in these final weeks of rehearsal for The Seagull. At this point in the process I am constantly answering a million questions as director.
