This is where I spent Saturday. Right underneath those observation towers that doubled as UFOs in Men in Black. And I do mean under. I was at Queens Theatre in the Park for a reading, and while the ground floor of that institution is above ground (thus the name “ground floor”) the theater spaces? Underground. [...] I always come back from retreat weekends feeling exhausted. I have no idea why – it’s not like we’re running around or doing anything physically exhausting. We sit around, read plays, and provide feedback to the playwrights. Now granted, we did 10 plays in three days (8 full-lengths, 2 one-acts), and 7 of those were [...] Last night my friend Eugene (known to some as “Shady Gene,” but that’s another story) talked Lori and I into seeing The Descent with him. It got a good review in The Times, and Gene likes a good horror movie apparently.

Then I noticed our director making several trips to the dressing rooms. This is [...] Well, after a two and a half day absence from work, I’m back. Joy. And my weekend is already stacking up. Rick is coming to see a dress rehearsal of “Bourgeois Gent” tonight and we’re getting dinner before, I’m meeting my friend Jordana tomorrow night before she sees our final dress rehearsal, Friday night we [...] Happy Monday, people. Pleh. Mondays suck. Why don’t we just have three day weekends every weekend? I can’t bitch too much, though. It’s noon and I’m at home in my jammies, typing up a study guide that is going to be given to the high school kids that see “The Bourgeois Gentleman”. Rough going at [...] |
