Inspiration through Exhaustion

Business again is consuming as we've moved into rehearsals for "No Snowflake in an Avalanche." As much as I was hesitant to direct the show, I'm already starting to feel better about it. There's no doubt in my mind that this reassurance comes from having Jenna with me in rehearsals. It is an extra encouragement to be the best I can be, plus, as many have noticed, she provides a balance.

The cast is wonderful and I can't wait to get further into this play with them and really let it explore where it needs to go. I've never worked with so many actors who have so much more experience than I do, and I know already that it is going to be fulfilling rather than frustrating.

Do not get me wrong though. There are already aspects to this which are frustrating. Mostly, that it is putting us into an even more crunched schedule. But, under the right circumstances, this is where I do my best work, and I believe "No Snowflake in an Avalanche" has the potential to be the best show I've ever done. Not to make this blog an advertisement, but ECS is having a fundraiser on December 8th, and if you can come out to BalMar in Ballard, support the show, and enjoy some happy hour prices all night, I'd love to see you! Email me for more details!

As far as Wedding Planning goes, we've secured DeLille Cellars for 9/10/11…NOT PLANNED, but it will be hard for me to forget…AND we're working with our caterer now to plan a menu. I think there is still so much to do, that I've lost sight of it. Jenna is on top of it though, and she tells me what to do and when to do it. Which is alllll I neeeeed.
