Last night's show went pretty well, despite some real lighting issues. I've been giving very specific direction to one of the actors about how to play his role and last night I saw a noticeable difference. I was only taking general notes--as a director, I like to hand off the show to the Stage Manager once it's opened, so the actors can relax and grow in their parts.
Tonight I'll be at the opening--I would love to raise a glass afterward with my cast--then I get some MUCH NEEDED time off. I will not be at the matinees this weekend, and I haven't decided if I'm attending tomorrow night's performance. If anyone is going this weekend, let me know--I can meet you afterward.
Just dreaming of all the ordinary things I'll get to do this weekend--my laundry, play with my cats, go to the LIBRARY (oh, I can't wait for that), clean...La la la, I have a life now! I have a list of several books I'd like to read, among them the original book for Friday Night Lights (which I read when it first came out but that's been more than ten years), a new biography on Alice Roosevelt, the new novel Rhett Butler's People, Boom! by Tom Brokaw (about the '60s) and stuff by Alison Plowden and Alison Weir, British historians who write about the Tudor era a lot. I've been subscribing to a podcast about the Tudor era that's really great--I did not know that John Dudley's father was executed by Henry VIII (very early in his reign). So three generations of Dudleys were executed by the Tudors.
