There usually is a point during show rehearsals when the cast and directors know they have a show. Sometimes that point doesn’t come until the last dress rehearsal, and there are times it never comes. The show I’m in now had that point twice. Because of our extensive scene changes (they are getting better, and […]

Shortly after this blog post is published, the countdown timer on my site will change – but that’s a great thing. It used to count down until the Chicago Cubs‘ first game of 2009 Spring Training, but since that game is TODAY (!) that countdown timer will soon be edited to count down until the

I dunno… the past day or two I have just had this burst of creativity or energy or excitement as the days count down. Tonight, we actually went through the entire show start to finish for the first time without stopping only for notes between the acts. All in all, it went pretty well. We

The thing I noticed most was the absence of the clips shown periodically throughout the night showcasing the nominees for the big award: Best Picture. Also gone was the full performance of Best Original
I received an interesting email forward the other day; it’s a Japanese video that shows a woman folding a shirt perfectly in a matter of seconds using an origami technique. I haven’t tried it out yet; I’ve been too busy blogging instead of folding my laundry 🙂

One of my best friends posted on his blog that readers would get “bored” with his posts about his family and his love of it. However, I think it would be highly entertaining. I hope I don’t bore anyone with my occasional posts about my awesome friends. Tonight, a bunch of us met at their
