Both of my shows are open now. I find that I've been a bit starey this morning shifting from having rehearsal first thing to having some quiet time first thing (although it's right back to rehearsal tomorrow: understudies).
This show is an absolute delight...and not just from my perspective. It doesn't hurt that my sister wrote amazing music for it and that Mrs. Culver and Mrs. Wright made costumes and lights that make everything and everybody look, well, freaking awesome. Oh, and the script is good and funny and and and...just please go see it.
The other show is also pretty entertaining, but the thing that keeps getting me down is how t e d i o u s the organization is about, well, everything. It's not that they don't like what I've been doing, but everybody on the admin/artistic side is just so gloomy in energy and begins comments with things like "I'd like to see more here with the actors playing to their objectives." Um, that's not really a useful comment. An empty comment, sure. A comment that might have actual meaning buried in it somewhere were it explained further, sure. A comment that...oh, why even try. Because what we're really talking about here is what is up with organizations who produce in just one specific style being so afraid of their own style that they have no sense of humor about it? Criminy! And I'm not cutting the knife prop.
Back to the other show: right now for Superbowl Sunday we have two tickets in pre-sale. That's 2-to-NOTHING! Homecourt advantage!!!
In other news: whose baby will be born first? There are sure a'plenty at the starting blocks...

Love,
