This post is from the intrepid Joshua Morgan who agreed to return to work with Open Dream Ensemble for Season Six. We are happy to have him and Brian Sutow on board as directors this coming season!
Aaaaaaaaand we're back! You never know what's going to pop up as an actor, writer, director, etc. but our careers are usually relatively random. For example, Brian (the other ODE Season Six director) and I run a theatre company (No Rules Theatre Company) in Washington, DC and Winston-Salem, NC and have built a 3 year plan for ourselves knowing full well that things will come up monthly, weekly and even daily that can change the course of everything. Last year when we auditioned for the Open Dream Ensemble, it was relatively spur of the moment as we (graduating Drama class of '09) all had plans of moving to NY or LA to be the next Shia LaBeouf (we trade AB workouts). However, we were then handed this pretty fantastic, difficult, life changing opportunity that we realized was exactly what we wanted to do. We rehearsed and toured both of last years shows for 6 months and left ODE expecting to be back for occasional visits. We knew we wanted to keep up some sort of relationship with Kenan and ODE but had no idea we'd be back in the saddle 8 months later, remounting Peril on the Red Planet. Having toured with the show for such a long time, we have so much more insight than we started that project and are excited to see what we can bring to this already successful show a second time. Winston-Salem is a special town with a strong undercurrent of artistic passion and I'm so looking forward to being able to develop the theatre company and play with "Open Dream" for a second season!
