After almost two weeks of family vacation, this one including my main squeeze who came all the way from NY/Boston, I am getting geared up for Pioneer Playhouse starting on Tuesday. As you know I am directing FOR BETTER by Eric Cole, a romantic comedy about technology in our lives. One of the fun things about directing is that you never know what issues are going to come up in the process, especially when you are going into a theater you have yet to see or a casting pool you have yet to audition. One of the things I am working on is to prep the show as much as I can, without having seen the space, so I can go into that first week with a plan. Its a quick schedule-Tuesday afternoon I arrive to unpack and check out the space before watching the opening night of the show before mine. Wednesday morning we have auditions with a read through that afternoon. What is nice/tough about the rehearsal schedule is that my rehearsal days end at 3pm, giving me the entire afternoon and evening to having meetings and prep. This is great because I can always be as on top of things as possible (taping out the rehearsal space, prod meetings, etc) but I lose time with my cast in the room. Overall, I am looking forward to getting down there and to business.
On the Stagedoor Manor front I have been told what show I will be directing and all I can say is that I am beyond excited!
Right now I am also planning a move in August, a downsize! After five years of living in New York with more stuff (I have 15 extra binders...just in case..why!?) at the end of August I will be going through ALL of my stuff in storage and either throwing away or giving away everything that I do not use on a weekly basis, the only exception of this will be my book collection. The reason? As I (knock on wood) start to travel more for directing and life, even if its only a few times a year, I want to be able to pack easier and smarter. Downsizing will allow me to focus more on what I need rather than what I want. I've been very inspired by Unclutter.com and Tiny Ass Apartments (blogspot). On top of that I can stay cleaner quicker and hopefully it will help my style just a bit, hey a girl can dream!
Now off for lunch at Rainforest Cafe and Despicable Me with my Aunt Vicky and Cousins.
