Final Dress Rehearsal

Okay, Final Dress rehearsal went well. The first dress, on Tuesday, went better, but that’s to be expected. For last night’s final dress we had a test audience, plus some weird costume issues, and a couple of weird tech/prop things, so the show went well, but was a little less focussed. That’s normal, and I’m looking forward to seeing the cast relax into the show, get comfortable with it over the next couple of days. I really think it’s a pretty, theatrical show. We’ll find out tonight how the audiences respond! I’m having a blast, as always when directing, but I’m freaking TIRED!! Man, sleep has not come easily this week.

Is anybody paying attention to the new bankruptcy laws? How frustrating is it that AGAIN the middle class and below are being nailed, with filing for bankruptcy harder and (naturally) more costly, while the big corporations had NO changes to their ability to file. I’m not an expert, but my understanding of it from the couple of articles I read and the stories I heard on NPR are that changes that could’ve been made to nail the corporations in the same manner were NOT included in the new bill. This administration is wonderful in their consistency – every step to hold down the general population is methodically taken. Pardon my minor political rant, but it ticks me off.

Allright, enough. I must prepare for rehearsal/1st preview. Think good thoughts.
