Day 27 -- Thanks for space to create!

11/19/2020

We of course have the Alpine Playhouse as our flagship space, but with anywhere from 4 to 8 plays rehearsing sometimes simultaneously, the need for rehearsal space and meeting rooms multiplies! ​ We're fortunate, then, that we have so many wonderful conference partners that open their doors to us!

In addition to the McCall-Donnelly High School gymnasium (pictured above), we've rehearsed, set up office space, held workshops and have even had readings in a huge variety of spaces:
  • high school classrooms
  • sometimes the high school cafeteria!
  • Bistro 45
  • Hotel McCall
  • The Carpenter Shop at the Central McCall Historical Museum 
  • the McCall library
  • the basement of Idaho First Bank
  • McCall College
  • Common Grounds coffee shop
  • at Forrester's Club bar (no kidding!!!)
  • The Yellow Couch Youth Center
  • Burgdof Hot Springs 
  • Jeni's cabin

However, no matter what space we're in, we always feel fortunate to be there and grateful to those who open their doors to us.
It was the beauty of the land, the space to think, and the kindness of the people I encountered at Seven Devils, that empowered me to rewrite a script formally called Design Sense, that became Under a Big Sky. It was a page one rewrite...  I continue to be grateful for the vision, tenacity and care that the leadership of Seven Devils has gathered together to hold this conference each year. It was wonderful to be a Native playwright, Choctaw to be exact, in a place that was both connected to the land yet the folks who were not Native didn’t require me to explain who I was or what I was trying to do. I was able to focus on the work I needed to get done.
