Happy Holidays...!

I dig Christmas socks. There is simply nothing like a brand new pair of warm socks for a snowy winter evening, after all of the food has been eaten and stories have been told.

What ever your own holiday may bring, may peace, health, and love be with you.

See you in 2009...!

Almost there...

"Thanks to all at once and to each one..." - MacB, ACT V, Scene ix

Today we did our final performance of MacB in Cleveland. There were plenty of great reviews over the course of the show, wonderful audiences, and the show was a blast to perform in the new Hanna Theatre, which is absolutely gorgeous.

I'll post some more snippets of reviews here after I return to Boise but right now I need to take time to thank a bunch of people.

I have friends and coworkers who pulled double-duty for the last five months to afford me this weird and wonderful opportunity... and still have employment on the other end. The College I for whom I work is a fabulous environment, with incredible people behind every door, and in every walk of it's daily life. So thanks to Jill, Tracylea, Debi, Mike, Jeff, Leroy, Alan, Matt, and everyone else who kept watch and kicked butt for my sake.

I would also like to thank the cast, crew, staff, administration, and everyone else at Great Lakes Theatre Festival. They were amazing to me; always kind and supportive... even when I was broke IATSE union rules by being on stage under ghostlight (though, in my own defense, I have probably spend far more of my life in dim light or darkness than anyone I know).

Great Lakes Theatre Festival is a great company of artists who I can only hope will thrive in their new space. I hope the Hanna will prove to be a great home for GLTF and that Playhouse Square becomes the center of a true downtown renaissance in Cleveland.

Lastly, and mostly, I need to thank Hannah. You see, I take off on flights of fancy. I follow whim to the point that reality and responsibility become frustrating. Simple matters like paying bills or filling out paperwork only seem obstacles between myself and the giving of my heart. Hannah is patient with me; she knows how to make me see these tasks as detours instead of roadblocks. She laughs with me when it's funny and she soothes me when it hurts. I can only hope to do as well for her.
