World Premiere Preview (July 18-20, 2008)

Earlier today the CEO of the company I work for between the hours of 9-5 looked at something I doodled and said to me, "Don't take this the wrong way, but with an imagination like yours, we should take you out back and have you shot."

I'm still not sure if there's a right or wrong way to take that.

Ten plays this week, brought to you by the imaginative ensemble of Caitlin, Steve, Heather, Dina, Bilal, and Ryan:

• The Distance Between Us (Caitlin Stainken)
• I, Exam (Bilal Dardai)
• Thank you for thinking of me (Heather Riordan)
• "What a bunch of bullshit" - I thought after writing this about myself (Ryan Walters)
• Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Bad (Ryan Walters)
• You'll Never See This Play (Dina Connolly)
• a brief, mildly musical demonstration of how I was taught to give head, OR the nice things women some times do for each other (Dina Connolly)
• Bar Wars (Steve Mosqueda)
• Gas Money (Steve Mosqueda)
• A Descent Man (Steve Mosqueda)

Was he saying that my imagination was dangerous or that it was unworthy of continued use? And why would a CEO say that to his employee even if there were a correct philosophical interpretation of the remark?
