| CYMBELJAM |
Our neighbors Susan S and
Melissa from the West 80’s Neighborhood Association are in to make arrangements
for their holiday get together at West-Park. Good memories of last fall’s
candidate’s forum.
A woman has come in and is
praying.
On the way back to the
church from our last Israel-Palestine film, the documentary by Lia Tarachansky
On the Side of the Road (http://vimeo.com/65278501).
This fall’s series has focused on the Nakba, or catastrophe, as the
Palestinians refer to the loss of their land. We were lucky to have Lia with us
tonight at St. Michael’s.
About halfway back. I run
into Sean. What’s up? I thought you had a place?
Yeah, I been there all
week…I’ve got about a 90% chance of my own private room.
That’s cool, but we got to
deal with your stuff.
Yeah, I know. When I get
my room..
It’s got to be soon, Sean.
Can’t be there.
I know, Bob. You goin
there now?
Yeah. But you need to get
back home. It’s cold. See you soon…
Back at the church, I make
it in time for the final acts of Sam Gibbs’ Cymbeljam…A rather unique creation.
In the chapel. He started with riffs out of his production of Cymbeline. Dressed in a Robin Hood like costume complete with bow, like ome of the Duke's men from the forest of Arden in As You Like It. The
opens the stage for a Shakespeare jam/open mic. From songs to monologues to
stand up rooted in a play, and even stand up, performers are freestyling Will.
I make it in time for a stand up act that interpolates the Seven ages of man
speech (As You Like It, again...)into Seven ages of women and a couple of wild monologues including
Prince Hal. Sam may be onto something here…
I see a guy wearing a
College of Wooster hat and think he may be from my school, but no. He found it
in a bar and because he trained with the edgy Wooster Group theatre decided to
claim it and wear it every day…
Stop by to see RL and
catch up on the week before heading home…
