The day actually started some time after Midnight last night. Our director’s gift cast party was held, and it was almost mandatory attendance. It was worth the trip, because our fearless leader had some wonderful things to say about the show. The party was long and entertaining, but I got to bed very late (early???) […]

I’m sitting here doing a lot of nothing. No rehearsal, no lines to memorize, chores that can be put off for a day or two. All of that is good, because I’m in desperate need to rest my throat a bit. I have one part in the show that I really have to force my
We have one more dress rehearsal tomorrow night. Tonight was the first night I really felt comfortable in my role. I had flashes of comfort in the past week or so, but tonight felt good. Few things that I would like to improve on, but that is a never ending quest. I haven’t written much

I’m in another play. Tryouts were just before Christmas. Rehearsals started the week of Christmas (I think). I’m trying to memorize my lines and get the character down. I shouldn’t have tried out.

The last show of “Miracle on 34th Street” ended the 2009 season for the Williams County Community Theater. Next year’s season starts in February with tryouts this week. I’m facing a small problem. The only show I’m interested in for 2010 is the very first show. This would mean that I start practices shortly after

The show has ended. We had a wonderful audience for the last show. I think that all of our audiences were able to watch a good show. With the number of people in this show, the number of character changes and the amount of heat backstage made this show very tiring. I know I lost
Sunday afternoon show and more family showed up. They really seemed to enjoy our attempt to entertain. We had another good crowd and show today. It always amazes me the energy the actors get from the crowd. When the audience gets into a show, it seems the show gets better. That is how it was

It started off so well. I was leaving just a bit early so I could get some gas and other necessities. Oops, a mile from home I noticed that I forgot my boots. Important item for the play, so I had to turn around. Back out for the second time, still early, but without as
