Making mountains out of molehills June 16, 2008 ~ 10:39 am

Back in 2003, I had a membership with TDF (Theatre Development Fund). TDF is very cool because it offers tickets to various shows at a discount - a substantial discount if you snag a ticket to a Broadway show from them. You can only become a member if you are a full-time student, full-time teacher, union member, senior (62 or over), civil service employee, staff member of not-for-profit organizations, performing arts professional, or a member of the armed forces or clergy, and you have to send in proof to join. I think when I joined I sent them my business cards from two theaters. At any rate, I let the membership expire and occasionally thought about renewing, but figured it would be too expensive or too much of a pain in the ass or something like that.

Last night while watching the Tonys, I decided there were a bunch of shows I wanted to see. This morning, I decided I was going to renew my TDF membership. I had kept my original email from them in my work email, so I still had my password, and inside of five minutes and $27.50 later, I am again a TDF member and can go to see Cry Baby for $36. Sometimes I seriously wonder why I blow things so far out of proportion. If I would have just checked the damned TDF website, I would have renewed the membership years ago. *facepalm*

Sometimes we get too busy to do easy stuff.

BTW, I’ll be in NYC in September for a training class so if you need someone to go to a show with, I’d be looking to be entertained (hint, hint).

Any good plays this fall? I’m still working on getting out there… not sure about Rhinebeck. It might just have to be a visit without yarns.
