But a prince ain’t bad either. First rehearsal after the read through. It is interesesting how everyone is getting into their characters. We have a good cast, and we already developing some very intresting personallities. Should be a lot of fun. I have some verly good lines and good interaction with the other actors. […]

Wow – what happened here? Due to a props department mix-up, an actor was doing a suicide scene with a real knife instead of a fake one. Luckily, he wasn’t killed, but this qualifies as a bit more than a simple mistake, wouldn’t you say? Perhaps I’ll think twice about offering to stage manage anything

With a new school year comes not just employment but things going on at my church as well. Okay, I haven’t been that busy, but compared to just a week ago it seems like it. Also, I have been catching up on my internet reading since I was down for much of last week. It
One more post about Little Women. We left a good portion of ‘stuff’ on stage after the Little Women tear down. It belonged to various people and places that the director, and set designer knew. They came back this morning to load up a truck with these items. I volunteered to help move it. After

I’m sitting downstairs at the theater while tryouts are going on for “Little Women”. My youngest is one of the singers/actors trying out. I’m sitting down here to get out of the way, and to make sure they don’t ask me to try out. I don’t sing, I don’t dance, don’t ask. But as I
After all this piñata talk (found the ñ symbol!), we had to pop in the movie Parenthood the other night. Along with the hilarious piñata scene (ok, now I am over-using the ñ a little bit), I had actually forgotten how entertaining this movie really is. It’s a really good blend of comedy and drama,
Definitely a full weekend this time around. My normal schedule is fairly busy as is, which is one drama and kid’s leader for two services (one same service as drama). Then I go to the worship service during the first Sunday service. This weekend was also a teaching weekend for me and I filled in
