Caterpillar Craze

April 9, 2010

Last night was the second performance of “Once Upon A Caterpillar” and Ezzy is really coming in to her own. She hit all her marks and even enhanced both the humorous and dramatic elements for all three characters. The show was really great.

Various artists and audience members have made it a point to affirm and praise Ezzy for her work after both shows. It has been cool to watch her engage these “fans” and embrace the grace of God in her life through the impact of this production on its audience.

Just today the producer of the festival emailed me regarding how much she enjoyed Ezzy’s show and my direction of it. This was lovely to hear considering she experienced the show twice already.

The next two performances are Monday the 12th and Tuesday the 13th. We encourage you to come out and support Ezzy. Since this is a festival, every audience member gets to vote for their favorite one person show. The show with the most votes at the end of the festival wins a monetary prize. We need at least 75 votes to place so we welcome your presence (and your vote…lol).

So I look forward to seeing you next week at LaTea Theater.

Caterpillar Cocoon

The “Once Upon A Caterpillar” script is taking on a new life. It’s exciting to see Ezzy taking the script to a higher level at each rehearsal.

Interestingly enough we visited the ONE Festival producers on Monday for a “Meet & Greet” gathering of all the artists. Ezzy is one of seven artists performing in the festival. She will now be performing five nights (Apr 7, 8, 12, 13 & 17) in the LaTea Theater, which seats only 74 people.

We had a chance to walk on the stage and envision the production in the space. Since then, I have seen a new boldness and confidence in Ezzy. She’s starting to break through the cocoon.

When she arrived at our Thursday rehearsal, she had new jokes and a clearer focus. With eleven days left until the first performance, I’m excited to see the butterfly come out of the cocoon.

As previously mentioned, I will be directing “Once Upon A Caterpillar”, a one-woman show created by Esmeralda Castellon.  It is presently a work in progress with three character monologues.  As for time, it should come in at about 20-25 minutes.

Last week it was accepted in to the ONE Festival which is taking place at LaTea Theater down in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.  This festival of one-person shows is from Apr 5-18, 2010.

Esmeralda, aka Ezzy, will be performing her show on April 7, 8, 13 & 17, all at 8pm.  As as festival, each night showcases two or three artists performing their show.

I do not have the exact ticket information as yet but I will share it once I do.
