suenixI am in that wonderful time of the year known as hiatus.
We closed " Sleuth' last night. It was well received. I hope that
it made enough money. We won't know for a week or two.
It was " more exciting" than it should have been. One , of the two,
actors went out one night with laryngitis. His understudy had quit the
previous week so the director went on " on book'.
On book means that a person goes on stage with a script in his hand
and walks through the part. In this case, it meant that our very "flamboyant '
director camped his way through the whole night. Much to the equal
horror and delight of us all. The audience was offered the chance to exchange
their tickets for another night and several did , but no one left. :)
I have two weeks off . 10 days of that will be spent in Amsterdam
and London ! We fly out on Thursday. So I have adequate time
to clean the house for the house/ dog sitter. And do the thousand little things
that precede a 9 day trip.
I am looking forward to running away from the constant pall that is hanging
over us here in Atlanta. Our drought has now made the national news.
We are reusing water, flushing less, showering with buckets and all manner of
crazy stuff.
I can't even turn on the tap without guilt these days. Hopefully , the weather
patterns will return to normal before the year is out . If we can hold out it till then it
will all be okay.
Oh well , life is supposed to be a challenge right?

Date: 2007-11-06 05:40 am (UTC)Our most exciting show so far has involved a banged knee with resulting panic attack post-show, and a cracked toe-nail. I'd say we're doing pretty well so far! *knocking on wood*
Have a blast in Europe! I'm jealous. *g* I've been to London and absolutely adored it. Never visited Amsterdam though. Enjoy the break, you deserve it.

I hope you get to relax a bit on your holiday. You deserve it!
