Done

Wow, what a rush. My reading went very well last night. Before going in I had a pretty good idea of what the weakest part of the script is, and so I directed the post-reading discussion towards that. I got a lot of good comments, and I think I know what I need to do to fix it.

Swimming the River is a comedy, so a friend who came asked me if I enjoyed seeing the audience laugh. I did, but I told what was better was watching the audience being captivated. I sat at the very back of the theatre for the entire show so I could watch the audience, and there was very little rustling, reading of programs, etc. Everyone was watching the play. That's what a playwright aims for.
