Robert Kehew says:
Good to meet you virtually at the meeting yesterday evening! Thank you and the group for the reading of "Feed the Beast."
In particular was pleased that your group not only provided some encouraging words but also, even more valuably, some constructive criticism. Sometimes people are reluctant to do that, but that of course is the real value of a reading, to get audience feedback, and kudos to your group that it has reached the point of trust where it can provide this. Even when opinions differ (as they did at one point in reactions to "Beast") the feedback is valuable. As I learned many years ago when I was active at the San Francisco Playwrights Center, "The audience is a collective genius." Rewriting is at or near the heart of the play-making journey (the title of Vol. 1 of Neil Simon's memoir is "Rewrites")
and I will take the feedback to heart.
