Introduction to Jack and Arnold

Dear Telemoonfa Time Fans,

The post I just posted, Jack and Arnold, is a play I co-wrote during my senior year of high school. It feels like I wrote it in a different life time.

I tried to produce it the summer after I graduated high school with some people I knew, but it didn't work out. We were going to rehearse at the park down the street and put it on who knows where.

Ha ha ha. I laugh at the experience now a little bit, but back then it was devastating to me. I actually remember being very depressed after my Jack and Arnold venture failed. I only held 2 or 3 or 4 rehearsals, and a few planning meetings. But the problem was, I was doing too much. I was the director, the playwright, the producer, the set designer, the stage manager, one of the lead roles, and so it just got overwhelming and I canceled the show.

That experience taught me that plays need to have a institution backing them. An institution like a school, a church, or a business. Because people are busy. They have jobs. They have other things to do.

Anyway... I really like the play. I really do. I think it's cool.

What do you think about it?

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
