Just too many quotes...

Since being in Indiana, I have come across so many funny comments and quotes that I don't think I can post one above the other. I will only say we have a quote board that is already filling up quickly. Put around 20 people together for 5 weeks and try not to have funny stuff pop up.

This summer has flown by thus far. We opened and closed Little Women, which was eh. Lemme tell ya, not a good show. If you get the chance to see it, look at your next best option. We are now in performance for Anything Goes (number 3 for me!), which I am loving loving loving. Great people, great part, great show. It will sadly close this Saturday. At the same time we are rehearsing I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, an absolutely hilarious show that is a true ensemble piece, where no one has more stage time than anyone else. I am loving this show the most so far (small cast helps).

One thing I haven't talked about is the rehearsal process and all of that for a summerstock theater. My work day is rehearsal from 9-12:30 in the morning followed by a lunch break, then I come back for rehearsal from 2-5, then a dinner break, then rehearsal 7-10:30. On performance days, instead of rehearsal we have a performance. I'll say that again, rehearse one show during the day, perform a completely different one at night. I know, it's crazy. Oh and we get every other Sunday off (phew). Lotta work! Totally worth it though. It's the only way you can get a decent show up in two weeks.

As soon as I Love You, You're Perfect closes, I'm coming back to Houston, where I will have three weeks to prep before heading off to London town! Not sure quite what I will do to prep, but I know I will need the time. Not just for packing and all, but to see everybody before I head out. I know I am coming down to visit Trinity once before leaving just to say goodbye to people.

I have call for Anything Goes in 10 minutes, so I gotta jet. Catch you on the flip side!
