keep on truckin'

Here it is, the morning after the opening of our third show of the summer, 'Perfect Wedding'.  I have had little time the past few weeks to do anything but rehearse and memorize for this show, so I have had little time to read, and do other things that I enjoy doing.

That comes with the territory though I suppose.

I am in the midst of a terrible cold that has plagued me for the past week or two, and that has hindered my work quite greatly no matter how much I try to overcome it.  Energy is low, projection is difficult, and it leaves me making frequent trips to the tissue box.  But I can feel my body fighting it off, and the past few days I can tell I'm getting better.

But enough of that.

It seems like just yesterday when I got the script for the show we opened last night.  I have discovered that the nightmares I have had in the past where I get the script for a show I have to do hours before it opens are almost truth in Summer Stock Theater.  8 days of rehearsal tends to have nightmare-ish qualities.   But it is so refreshing to be able to present a hilarious show and get a big standing ovation at the end of all of it.

And then we start it all over again today with rehearsals for the musical.

I love my job.
