Let's Face it....I'm Tired
To say this has beena busy last week would be an understatement. I am exhausted, thrilled and have no downtime. And although I kvetch about it, I am glad that I am keeping busy and doing something with my time instead of becoming some sniveling whining twit who sits at home feeling sorry for himself and drinking himself into a stupor.
La Cage opened this past week. We had audiences starting on Tuesday and had our official opening on Thursday. The show has really picked up steam and settled into a good place; although some of the cast members do keep some of us on our toes with their forgetfulness and overeager-ness. Audiences seem to enjoy the show (excepting the Thursday night audience who I want to kill). This has definitely been a challenge for me on so many levels and I keep finding new ways to tinker and add to my character (without interfering with my fellow actors that is). It's a good show, I think at least. If you have not bought your tickets yet, do so and come see it. We run for two more weeks.
Everything else is pretty much a blur in terms of teaching, grading, and so on. I have had little time to focus on that, which is pretty bad considering it IS my job-job. But the students are suffering from a lack of being educated, just a lackof getting their papers back at my usual speed (I graded 4 stacks of quizzes and 3 stacks of essays last night when I got home).
This week starts my second set of doubling-up shows. Jekyll & Hyde (which stars a stellar set of leads) and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (or as I called it last night in my exhaustive state - Best Little Unmunchable Place in Texas - which stemmed off a discussion of a junior version of this show which would need a censored title and I attempted to say "unmentionable"). I am choreographing the first, and being a chorus boy and choreographing/asst. directing the second. Me gusta.
Other than that, my life is in a wee bi of stasis on every other front. I have not been able to work out in two weeks now, but thankfully it has not affected me as his show is a marathon in and of itself. I am doing pretty good and am shedding away what I need and want to to get to back to what I want to look like.
And here is crossing my fingers for one of those New York schools to hire me so I can get the hell out of dodge.
