So for now, an update: Tomorrow is Performance Network’s “Subscriber Awards Night” and I’ve been invited. They do awards that their season ticket subscribers vote for. Should be fun.
Speaking of awards, I’m nominated for Best Director by the Oakland Press, which is nice, for Summer and Smoke. Those awards are Monday night, and also nominated are a bunch of folks I collaborated with, including Mindy Woodhead from S&S, John Seibert and John Lepard from The Mystery Of Irma Vep which was the show I directed in the Fall at Purple Rose – well deserved nominations, they’re all great actors. Also, some of the design team from Irma Vep is nominated for Technical Achievement; Vince Mountain, Joel Klain and Reid Johnson.

So, win or lose, it’s nice to be recognized, and I really appreciate that several of the local papers do these awards as a way of recognizing what is a talented, growing, vibrant theatre community.
