Can It Be....

...that Saturday we start tech for The Birds?!  Man, oh, man, but the time has been sprinting by!  Crazy!  I gotta tell you, rehearsing this show and delving into the world of this fascinating play has been and continues to be such a joy.  Boy, that Conor McPherson sure gives you a ton to work with and try to figure out.  It seems like so many discoveries are still to be made and getting into the run with the extra energy from the audience will boost this to a great place.  Working with the passionate Scott Phelps directing and the marvelous talents of John Gray, Abby Dillon, and Errol McClendon, and our stage manager, Samantha Tink, continues to make this process one which fills me with such happiness and excitement.  I can't wait to go to rehearsal every day and see what happens and what we create and what we unearth.  This is truly ensemble work and everyone has something wonderful to contribute.  And that I get paid for doing this?!  Pinch me, somebody! (but not hard ;-)

So on a completely different note, I brought Mom home some milkweed pod seeds because she wants the Monarchs to stop by.  We'll plant them in the fall after it gets chilly.  They're such a beautiful seed, aren't they? :-)  Although when they split open, I can't help but notice that the pod looks like a big ole va-jay-jay....
