By Design

I just met with the set designer for my ten-minute play. He has designed for every Humana Festival for the past thirty years.

His ideas were just great.

Smart. Correct. Well-thought out. Story based.

I wanted to hug him.

I always feel like in these director/designer meetings I should have something that I want changed because the first version can't ever just be "right", right? Even for a ten-minute.

But he was right. From the start.

Comes with experience, I suppose.
