From Savannah with Love: Southern Fried Chekhov

Moving Forward! By Eric Kildow

So we had a really great rehearsal tonight, working through both of our shows. The actors are really beginning to get a feel for the physicality of these characters, and the truly humorous nature of our playwright's wit!

Also sent out all of our media promotions, WTOC (CBS), WSVH (NPR), Connect: Savannah, and Savannah Morning News. Here's hoping we'll see lots of smiling faces there, ready to enjoy some down-home, Southern fried fun.

And all this on two days, a Sunday and a Federal Holiday. Guess that makes me something of a slavedriver, but dedication gets everyone far.

Support local awesome. Happy Labor Day, everyone.
