Here we are at the end of another week. It’s Friday, and what do I have to show for it? A reasonably good week on the calorie front, but no real exercise to speak of. I am involved in four productions at the moment, and feel like I have no free time. That, however, is a constant state with me. I always seem to be burning the candle at both ends. At least I have a really long candle.
Monday is my birthday, and I’m turning 45. No plans for anything special, except not working. So, that’s a plus! I’m having my first rehearsal for the Halloween show on Saturday. We’ll be working music. This show is fun for the fact that all the music is public domain. Some great lyrics that will be fun for the show. I’m anxious to start blocking and see how everyone does with their characters. I think this is going to be fun!
I’ve added a music player to my blog, as you can tell. You will notice that I have a very eclectic mix of music styles I like. I tried to put in a little of everything. I saw this on my niece’s blog, and liked it so much that I decided to add it to my site. I’ll update it periodically.
Tonight is the first night for Sorcerer in Holladay. I’m really looking forward to it. I love the shows of Gilbert & Sullivan. Sorcerer is not one I’ve been very familiar with previously. I really like it, but I think the romantic lead is one of the most villainous characters that Gilbert wrote. He decides to give the whole village a love philtre to make all the single people fall asleep and then when they wake up they will fall in love with the first person they see. Then, not content with that, he forces his new wife to drink the philtre so their love will be always strong. She does, and falls for the vicar. Then everyone decrees the sorcerer, J. W. Wells must die to set everything right. Alexis (the young man) is a true villain. I really like this show. And I get to be the vicar and sing two of the best songs in the show. Great fun.
So, have a great long weekend, and happy birthday to me!
