ACTIVITY (20 minutes):
Here’s a short play called “A Very Little House” all the way back from 1985, featuring Judy Martin, James Lally, Brenda Cummings and Jan Maxwell, with musical director Donald Ashwander at the keyboard! In this piece, the Players must squeeze into tighter and tighter spaces so they can live together under one roof. Activity: take two pieces of paper and something to draw with. On the first paper, draw a house with everything and everyone crowded in very close, practically on top of one another, whether it’s the shower, a dog or cat, the whole family, all the furniture, a TV and computer, kitchen table: everything! On the second piece of paper, draw all of the same items from your first picture, but this time spread out with lots of space between.
