Sorry it has been a while, life and work have been busy.

Little Shop auditions, callbacks, casting and scheduling all went well. We did lose a do-wop girl, but with luck will have a replacement by the end of the day. It all looks pretty good, and now I can stay uninvolved for a couple weeks, as my trusty assistance handles rehearsals. I like that my commitment is two meetings a week plus 4 runs in total before we go into tech.

Taking the Next Step was okay. Our panelists were good, but I heard complaints from the students that there wasn't enought time for anything. Some also complained that they were hoping for more concrete advice about how to get a job after college, but they still have 18 months until they graduate. The keynote speeches were good--one was a little too political for the forum, and the other perhaps a little too humerous, but overall they were interesting and held people's attention, which is really all one can ask for of a 20 minute speech.

Tech for Sex! went well. [aside: I wonder if talking about this show will change the google hits to my blog much...hmmm...probably...]. We didn't have most of the music last night, so I'm a little scared for tonight's run. I suspect it will be hard to juggle. Stupid manual light board. It's not that any of the cues are particularly complicated, they're just simultaneous and I only have 2 hands.

Classes are good, but of course require a lot of work. Especially advanced professional writing. The other one is just readings, and fascinating ones at that.

Can't think of much else to write about, at least not at the moment. I'll be better about posting after the show opens Thursday.
