One Down… Two To Go
Our first show last night was a success! For us and the full house that 
attended. Good laughs during the comedic pieces, good dramatic scenes and artistically stylish. The entire cast was on point and supported each other beautifully, like sliding on an old glove.
I guess it just goes to show that 44 hours of workshopping in one week is enough to create a cohesive show!
It felt great to be on a stage again. There’s just a different 
mental preparedness that cannot be mimicked by Film/TV. There’s no third or fourth takes. It’s: Get it right the one shot you’ve got and if it doesn’t happen — find a way to make it happen.
Here’s an excerpt from my bio in the program that I wanted to sum the experience up for the attending audience:
The work you’re about to see is influenced by that “sweet spot” in life – It started when you first discovered your imagination as a kid… and ended the day you were told to get a ‘real’ job. No one here is looking to get paid, pad their resume or get discovered by an agent. This project is pure heart, about a group of friends working their creative muscles as they once did together many years ago.
There are still some spaces open for today’s final 2 shows before we part ways: 2:30pm and 8:30pm. A project like this doesn’t happen very often, so please try to make it if you can!

nice jobbb
Great show, Parry! All of yall worked so well together, and I was very impressed with your sound effects. I’m glad I had a chance to see it.
Congrats Parry =) Too bad I can’t see it since I’m Vancouverbecause I would go for sure. I’m still a supporting fan all the way! Keep up the great work!
wow–looks so intriguing. It’s great to see an actor keep the love for the pure art! I love watching an actor who has the passion for acting.
I came across this entry during one of my insomniac mornings. My sisters ended up watching the show because of it. It was awesome!
The play was fantastic!! And FYI, Mr. Shen, I came down to California for YOU, and I brought my friend and cousin with me. That’s how much I support you, Parry Shen!!
