New Beginnings

What is going on in the King household this week? Well, Lindsey and Linda spent the night in midnight madness Black Friday, shopping. Not me! I was sleeping!


Linda and I are in the middle of rehearsal for what, I guess, will be called, "Control-Assault-Delete". This is a 55-minute, two person show that tells Lisa's story of the nine year walk through a violent relationship. Linda and I take the parts of various people and it is really testing our memorizing skills.


The director, David Barker, is a great guy, who is a Professor of Theatre at ASU. He has his own one-man show, entitled, "Dodging Bullets". This is a story of his sister's walk through and out of a violent relationship. The Dodging Bullets title is exactly what happened at one point, except the sister didn't dodge as well as David. "Dodging Bullets" will be performed at ASU on January 14. I think there are a few tickets left.


In any event we are excited about this one, and hope it is as well received as "Domestic Violence, The Musical?"


We are involved in trying to get the next play in the typewriter at this time. It will be called, "I Have This Friend." It is dealing with teen dating violence and will be designed for high school students.


So you see, Linda is as busy as usual while John loafs around.


We will keep you posted as we move forward.




John says, "Some people try to turn back their odometers, not me. I want people to know why I look this way. I have traveled a long way and some of the roads were not paved."
