It is such a pleasure coming back to do a full production of Ordinary Days with the same cast that worked on it for Rough Cuts. The last time we worked together three years ago, we had mere days to get our heads around 21 songs. We performed with the music on stands and often had no idea what the the next line might be until we turned the page. Rough Cuts are great for encouraging one to commit to big choices right away. There's a spontaneity that comes from literally not knowing what comes next that inevitably leads to truly unexpected discoveries.

Some of these bold discoveries are real insights into the piece, and some make you wish you could start over. Returning to Ordinary Days three years later, we're finding we have the benefit of those unexpected insights, and we get a do over on the rest.
