Home

My attempts at trying to maintain the blog on the road was a laughable plan. I was either unmotivated due to exhaustion or performing/travelling/eating. Leg #1 is done and we have a week off (which I will enjoy immensely) followed by leg #2 which is mostly local shows leaving plenty of time to go on auditions (plans of mice and men being what they are).

I enjoyed a 5-hour unpacking and cleaning frenzy marvelling at how much more I brought back than I left with.

The shows went really well, each filled with their own moments of backstage humor and onstage goofs. I still stand by my previous post's mention about the politics of social negotation within cast tensions.

I completely marvelled and revelled in experiencing my first fall in several states. I cannot adequately describe the colors and I don't think that any fabric or crayon could ever accurately capture the colors. I think death is nature is the only amazingly beautiful death to behold and experience. Coming from two different continental homes, both of which shared two basic seasons - hot and cold - I was like a kid in a candy store constantly taking picture of trees on fire with color.

I also loved getting to see other parts of the country, and even at its worst moments it was incredible as I dealt with racial profiling in small and large towns spoke volumes. I shudder to think what an actor with a less ambiguous ethnicity would face.

I am glad to back although I felt some anxiety as I drove of the GW bridge wondering if I could re-adjust.

I can. I did. Quite easily.

Now I am looking forward to just chilling, auditioning, and looking for the next acting job.
