The cupola on the library of my lovely workplace.
I’ve been out of it this week. Two shows in rehearsal simultaneously will do that to you. R&J goes into previews tomorrow night, so then I’ll only have to worry about God’s Daughter. And that opens next weekend. Then a bit of time off from rehearsal, but still doing work on the next project. Larry has decided that he might want to add a second act to Hemingway. About Tennessee Williams. I don’t know, don’t ask. All I know is that I am now scouring the corners of the internet for videos of Tennessee Williams for him to study. Good God.
My week thus far:
Monday night: Gala for one of the theatre companies I work with. They had put together an amazing performance featuring Charles Busch (author of Tale of the Allergist’s Wife and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom), Frank McCourt, Larry Luckinbill, and some of the cast of 42nd Street, among others. I have to stop here and say that Frank McCourt is one of the funniest people in the world. The line “We were told to meditate on the wounds of Christ for school. We were eleven. I repeat, eleven year olds were told to meditate on the wounds of Christ.” will have me rolling for days to come. The performance was followed by a dinner, and between the wine and the fish, I was quite the sick little puppy on Tuesday.
Tuesday: Much time spent in the bathroom. Rehearsal for R&J.
Wednesday: Dentist appointment for a check-up and cleaning. No cavities, thank you, Goddess, but because I have the world’s worst dental insurance, I had to shell out $165 out of pocket. My plan may reimburse me for some of it. This is probably going to be like when they reimbursed me $8 for each of my three $170 fillings. I’ll repeat that. On a total cost of $510 that I spent out of pocket, my dental plan paid $24. Yeah. Spent time with Rick afterwards, then went to rehearsal for God’s Daughter.
Today: Work. And much time spent tracking down rights for an Ira Gershwin song called “I Can’t Get Started” for GD. I’m handing it over to the producers at this point - the rights holders want written requests. I don’t do that. Tonight, final dress rehearsal for R&J.
And the rest of the week:
Tomorrow: Work. And rehearsal for GD.
Saturday: Jordana and I are going to see Othello at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Finally, something fun! Saturday night, I’ll end up going to a preview of R&J.
Sunday: First run-thru of GD. I will then hopefully escape to Rick’s and hang out with him and the girls. We all have Monday off for Columbus Day (I think this is a New York peculiarity, I never had Columbus Day off before I moved here), and I want to spend it with them, relaxing.
Damn, I’m busy. I didn’t even get a chance to watch the VP debate this week. Sorry I missed that. And now I have to get back to work. Pleh.
