Transy Theater\u2019s fall production of Stupid F***ing Bird runs Nov. 1 -10.\u00a0\u00a0
Photo by Joseph Rey Au.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite theater moments happened on the Sunday before opening this show. We had been in the theater for six hours and still had another six hours to go (technical week is a beast). I\u2019ll repeat that, we (meaning seven actors, four designers, four production crew and one director) had been in a \u201cblack box\u201d for six hours, with the next six hours looming in front of us. And the end of the play was not working. We tried to execute it as written in the stage directions, but it was lackluster. We tried to add additional dramatic technical elements, but they came off ridiculous instead of sincere. We tried to reshape the psychological through-line of our protagonist, but it was not dynamically translating from brain to stage. What to do? The show opens in four days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned to our entire team- designers, cast, crew; veterans of the theater as well as those who have never worked on a play before (yes, we have a few of those!). I walked out what I thought I wanted. I talked out what I was getting, which was not what I wanted. I emoted what I hoped the audience wanted\u2026 or needed (dramatic tension, catharsis, resolution ((or not)) and all the rest). And then one of our first-year actors said, \u201cWhat if\u2026\u201d and made a brilliant suggestion that you will see as the end of this production. Two words, \u201cWhat If,\u201d followed by a possibility. Perhaps a solution, perhaps a mistake, but always a choice, a risk, a vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magical \u201cWhat If\u201d is a powerful tool. How lucky we are when we are brave enough to use it. Every member of our production team used it during our process. I offer it to you now: What if we really listened? What if we worked together? What if we took a risk? What if we stopped telling the same stories over and over? What if we forged new forms? What if we discovered different resolutions? What if? What if? What if? May we all be brave enough to ask the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
