Twisting by the pool.....

I have spent most of my summer trapped , stitching , in the basement of the
Theater . I am actually quite good at this stuff but I kind of hate it.
I am by nature an active sort of person and sitting in one place
drives me a little CRAZY! So I am counting the hours until Sunday when
I revert to my usual running crew position. I so want to go back to being
a dresser. I have missed my wacky assed actors.

Speaking of the actors we all have an usual challenge ahead of us.
The next show Is Metamorphoses. It's an adaption of the myths of Ovid.
And the entire play takes place in and around a pool of water. A 24' by
24' pool mounted on our thrust stage. This means that we are dealing
with 10 wet , mostly naked actors. This leads to massive safety and comfort
issues.

So to head off some of the surprises, they are rehearsing out back
of the loading dock in 10' round kiddie pool. There is something ridiculous
about walking out the back door and seeing adults fighting with sticks in a
kiddie pool. And we are paid for this! Yeah, I get paid to hang with the Gods
at the pool till August 13. ( really , life IS good )
