Time flies...

Time flies, whether you are having fun or not. The days just whiz by. It is already after Thanksgiving and will be December in two days.

Don't EVEN ask about Christmas! Actually, I've been buying a few things here and there, just small things, but I won't really be able to do anything til next week. I've spent most of my waking hours outside of work either at the theatre or working on my show.

I really love directing. It's just hard to direct and be producer at the same time. On top of that, it's hard to get volunteers during the holidays. I have found a couple, but it is a challenge. And "A Tuna Christmas" has a LOT of costumes and costume changes. I've been helping the costumer find costumes and the props manager find props and building the set and whatever. I haven't done much of the painting -- thank goodness for my friend Nancy; she's retired and has worked her tail off painting on the set the past couple of weeks. It is surprising how much painting has been required on such a simple set.

This is the week the show opens. It is too late to be nervous about whether the actors are ready. They are doing a great job and they will make it. I believe in the magic of the theatre -- things seem to come together magically at the end. I've learned to take a zen approach to it all.
