The Daily News
1 It's well past midnight, the morning after the night before.
2 I just got home from yet another fun performance of A Love Letter, and I smile, with no apologies. House management was atrocious tonight; it was tough getting intermission set up, and accomodating people with the bathrooms, and all the rest. I'm not sure if the audience knew it, but I sure did. Audience members shouldn't have to search around for a bathroom, so I was mortified when I found out that someone had locked all the restrooms. But, oh well...
3 The Show proper began slowly enough, with the Theatre cold as ever, and yet another sparse, but MUCH appreciated audience.
4 Again, I loved how the Show just took off. It's just one of those Shows. It's almost like TWO different Shows, with the first act simply a warm-up, like an opening act, and then everything turns magic. I'd love to take credit, but it's all Cast and Crew. Sparky, who was re-instated as a "returning student" yesterday, did a remarkable job on the sound cues, so seamless, it was almost undetectable. Wrong button on the Tarentella, but then, only I would notice. Just a brilliant sound show. The Cast delivered the goods, as always. I dunno. I think it's just a really fun Show, and it's a shame more people aren't coming out to see it.
5 My good friend: Well, do you think they got it?
Me: (pause) Nah.
My good friend: I did.
6 So get to the SHOW, people!
7 As my other good friend used to say, "They just don't GET it."
8 <sigh>
9 In other news, it appears that students are as upset as staff with the moving of Mr. Moser. I accidentally wandered into the school site council meeting held in the lounge last evening, looking for a nice, quiet restroom, and saw the meeting. Didn't look as though anything going on at that meeting was going to change nor move the District.
10 I did see wagons circling today, with some VERY strong student leaders, so it will be pretty interesting to see what goes down next week, because it appears that the students aren't going to stand idly by and watch this ASSININE decision go down. I'm curious...
11 AND supportive.
12 PLEASE remember to go to the play this weekend. It's SO worth your time. And these kids need support, so come on out.
13 Enjoy your weekend.
14 This is so long, from the last Fall play. Sort of a weird feeling, but a good one.
15 To my wonderful Cast and Crew, break-a-leg tonight. I expect this Show is going to blow people away.
16 Take it home.
17 Peace.
