What? A new baby and a new job? Surely I don’t have time for another show right now. You’re right — but has that ever stopped me before?<\/p>\n
For those who have been asking me: the next theater project I’m doing with Andre is a musical adaptation of an Edgar Allen Poe short-story: The Fall of the House of Usher<\/i>. Just as Words on Fire<\/u> and Winesburg, Ohio<\/u> began, this production is being workshopped and presented to high school students as part of Steppenwolf Theater’s<\/a> educational outreach program.<\/p>\n Our good friend Jessica Thebus is directing once again, and the script is being authored by a fascinating fellow named Mickle Maher. He’s retelling the story from the point of view of the sister — a character who never speaks in the original story. Andre and I will be incorporating music on piano, guitar, and some interesting live-choral textures into the show. It should be very interesting.
