Trying to find the balance between rehearsal and teaching responsibilities is proving stressful and while there is SO SO MUCH still to be done: it was exciting to the point of exhilarating to be on the stage and running with things today. And for the talent, enthusiasm and fun that lies within our cast…
I was in school much earlier than usual to make a meeting; and stumbled upon ever charming and very sexy, SD who I will forever have a harmless crush on. When I asked about his baby, he led me off to his classroom to show me a photograph of this incredibly gorgeous child in an Northern Ireland kit. He told me he would like ‘hundreds of children’ and suggested it was about time I got one of my own…that he thinks this is an acutal possibility got my day of to a smiling start.
I’m grateful for the simple but generous help of two different neighbours today; little things mean so much.
I’m entirely wrapped up in the American desire for political change: and have spent tonight writing Theatre Notes with Presidential election coverage as my company. It somehow feels significant, as if one day, someone will ask me; where I was and what I was doing on the night Barack Obama (PLEASE GOD!) got elected President. A shift of global proportions seems imminent…I await the shaking of the earth.
The hard part will be dragging myself away from the TV just as the results are starting to come in…
