    Wow. What a very long ten days. In theater, the week before you opening, usually starts with tech day, is often referred to as Hell Week. For many years I have found that amusing as it seemed only to be hell for those around me. The tech team (if you had a team- sometimes just…

    Holy Moly, I have been crying like a little girl the last three days. Sheesh. Don’t get me wrong. It feels great and I am sure I needed it but really. Enough is enough. Part of playing a part is being in the moment, real emotional reaction to what your character is experiencing. Usually for…
