Due to the magnitude of this
undertaking at JACK, constituting so many moving pieces on such a small
budget, there were many steps necessary to even get us into the
rehearsal phase. John Del Gaudio and Daaimah Mubashshir had to work
out many logistical and practical concerns before we could get most
of the collaborators into the room together. I was not privy to most
of these conversations, or the decisions made therein, but the
substance of those talks undoubtedly grappled with the usual
obstacles impeding Off-Off Broadway theater producers: scheduling and
funding.
