Most of us doing the A to Z blog Challenge have a few letters we wish would leave the alphabet; q, x, and z being the three that can be the most challenging. A children’s author, Marvin Mayer, has attempted to help us out with his picture book, The Day That X Ran Away. …

As in, “where is my computer?” My PC started making a lot of noise yesterday, right when I was about to get started on my 1000 words for the day on my new book. Isn’t that always the way? The noise, as I explained to my son who is a computer techie, not a theatre …
I wasn’t sure what I would find for the letter V that would connect to my theatre theme, unless I went with video. But, of course, video is not part of live theatre, unless you have someone come and tape your performance and put it on DVDs. Which we do sometimes, so that could have …
For the A to Z Challenge my theatrical word for today is understudy, of which we have none in our little theatrical troupe. It’s awfully hard to perform on stage when you are sick, and I always worry that one of our cast members will come down with something awful on opening night. So far …

I was delighted to find a number of words beginning with the lettter “q” that were related to theatre in some way. Often this is a hard letter for those of us doing the A to Z Challenge. As are the letters “x” and “z”, but I’ll worry about them later. Anyway, thanks to the …
Unless you have had any association with live theatre, you probably have no idea what a proscenium is. I know I did not before I started playing on stage, but simply put it is the area at the front of the stage facing the audience. The arch over that area creates a “window” around the …
