Cinnamon and Cigarettes (2): A Celebration of Storytelling

8/24/2013

 
PictureJenny and Jeremy, age 6
Cinnamon and Cigarettes ("the remount") opens in five days.  I'm terrified and excited to be sharing this story again.  As I have worked/played with my dear co-collaborators Cassie and Asae to discover what the story has become seven months after I first performed it, I'm realizing that the story is me.  It's funny: although I do play "myself" for parts of the play, I spend much more time as other characters -- and the story I'm telling is not specifically mine, it's Jeremy's.  But the more I tell it; the more I explore what the characters are saying and how their voices define them and shape the story, the more acutely I feel the reasons I needed to tell this story in the first place.  It's the story of my first love; it's the story of my deepest loss; it's the story of my rawest joy -- and it's a story I can't keep silent.  I hope you'll let me share this story with you.
