Ray TempestaHOST
and kristin how about because you're taking on the role of producer and director probably amongst many other hats as well it's easy from an outsider perspective to think well you know it's a one-person show and not too many moving parts in terms of, certainly in terms of cast, of course, how hard can that be to direct? So can you set us straight on that?

Kristen DuffyGUEST
That's interesting you say that because I have to say in my past, you know, when I've seen solo shows prior to directing, I kind of was having similar thoughts, I guess.

Kristen DuffyGUEST
I can't take full producing credits anymore because Aaron's taken on a lot and we also have a team now that we're touring a small, very, very, very small team, but people that are helping us out.

Kristen DuffyGUEST
So I've gotten to focus a little bit more on the directing side, but it really is.

Kristen DuffyGUEST
I mean, I think because it's such a personal story, as Aaron mentioned, I have been really involved in the script as well, just to make sure we are kind of, you know, she's not getting too close to it in the sense that the audience maybe doesn't quite get it.

Kristen DuffyGUEST
When we were trying to do the, when we were doing the fringe length, it felt like, what do we need to take out? What do we need to put in? And that sort of was coming from a director's side in how does it shape the show? So, um, you know, even things like what does the set look like? How do we get it clear when you're in LA, when you're, um, in London? Does, how does the lighting change? Because obviously we've, we've used lighting that's bright and, and very different from when we're in London.

Kristen DuffyGUEST
Um, When the fires are happening, what does the projection look like? And really, at the end of the day, just how do we tell this story in the most understandable, interesting and funny ways? So even with Aaron's performances, teasing out sometimes the comedy that maybe, you know, is too big or too small or, you know, does this character say what we want it to say? And how can you perform it in a way that the audience really reacts to it, I think?
