I originally wrote this post after May 16th, and never got back to edit it or add to it. So I'm posting it as is, and will get caught up with happenings from the last two weeks. :-)

This past weekend was overfull of family, parties, friends, events, and a little yardwork and housework. My youngest's birthday party, a friend's wedding, a day-long theater workshop for my oldest, a "good-bye & farewell" final cast party for a local theater, the high school theater banquet....It was go-go-go for three days. I've recovered (mostly), and am getting ready to strike my last show of the spring - a musical revue about the Andrews Sisters.

In the midst of all this activity, ideas for my summer shows were still percolating, and actors were contacting me with their thoughts. At the wedding reception, I had a quick chat with "Puck" about sunglasses for bug eyes; once again he and I are thinking along the same lines. (It was a theater wedding; a lot of the guests were performers/directors/designers, and much of the talk centered around our various upcoming projects. this is a common occurrence in our local theater community, this overlap of work and social life; we may work together for a short, intense period of time, then see each other every few months at social gatherings.
