EDGES: A Song Cycle. The Freestanding Room. April 6-16, 2011.
Matt Lacas, Jade Hassouné, Shannon Tosic-McNally, Karelle Rémillard
We had our first read for Edges the other night. I was nervous, excited, proud of the cast and crew we snagged and really really proud of the incredible material we get to work with. I think this is going to be a really special show, completely different from Reefer Madness. It's a little tricky when people ask what the show is "about" because you show up, we sing you 12 songs and then everyone goes home. It's a visceral experience where, hopefully, more than one song resonates with you. 

If I had to, had to, had to give you an "about", I would say it's about: "Who I am" vs "Who I want to be."

This resonates with me. Anyone that knows me personally knows that I have a no BS policy in my life. I try to be as real and honest as possible, even when it gets me in trouble. I do not small talk, I do not fake laugh (or anything thing else for that matter), I will not say anything behind your back I wouldn't say to your face. This works 90% of the time. It's not easy being completely true to yourself and honest, when most other people aren't. People feel the need to fit into these little molds that society has created, and Edges is about challenging that. About daring to break out of that to be yourself. Caterpillar to Butterfly style.
