The Philadelphia by David Ives

This is a play I directed for a set of David Ives plays that were performed at the auditorium of Queen Elizabeth High in Halifax, Nova Scotia during January 2007. The explicit lines of the play have been edited, basically because it was the drama teacher's idea, but this is a good theatrical piece if you haven't seen it.

I'm the waitress in our school's version. We have a real cheesesteak, and I REALLY don't want to eat it. :P

I just did this play literally five days ago. My Mark was better. The pacing here is a bit fast. You have to consider comedic timing. And we kept the explicit language, my professor allows us dramatic licenses when we direct. Good effort though .

Mark is horrible

I just did this show and we just used a regular cheesesteak. It helps that I'm doing this show in Philly.
