Part II - Director Leta Trembly on the Immersive Party Play Experience

Theaterspeak: Playwright Mariah MacCarthy: How do you go about directing a four-dimensional script like this one? LETA: Very carefully. :) It's an experiment! As you'll remember, on the first day that you brought the script in, it took about half an hour to explain to everyone how to read it. To explain further to readers, because there are often multiple concurrent conversations happening at once (just like at a party), there is a master script and color coded insert pages. Literally every actor's script looks different because every individual has a different trajectory. During our first read, actors moved about the space so as to be close to whoever they happened to be talking to at the time while I sat on the floor in front of a coffee table, with two piles of scripts in front of me, following along with all of the action points at once and noting where they intersected. It's kind of like a giant puzzle and a team of 12 people are working together to make the pieces fit.
