And we're off!

So the show opened this weekend & went so great!

Friday night was Preview - we had about 20 people there. There was a lot of nerves but the small group made up of friends & company members seemed to really love the show a lot.

Saturday night was Opening Night - & I cannot remember the last time I opened a show that was as amazing as this one was. We were so full we were litteraly at standing room only, where people were in the entry way just because they didn't want to miss it! It was truely amazing & from the very start the audience loved every last moment of the show!

The show is two hours & it felt like 20 mins it went by so fast & was such a thrill ride - I was so impressed by the level of work that everyone has put into this production & am so proud to see it come to life like it has! Simply amazing!

So this week, we start working with the understudies... I should have my shots picked out by Wens & will have another email about the website coming to you (Scott) tomorrow afternoon.

This week is all about getting life firing & cooking again - last week all energy focus went into the show & this week it goes back to the whole of my life!

Mary is about to sell which is big news - look for more info about that soon & I am beginning work on what could be a super HUGE project (like a movie with Oscar winning people) very soon - sooo... as I can talk more about it, I will :)

love you guys & talk to again soon! And thanks for all the love and support - you mean the world to me!

Rehearsal was good

So once through tonight and we were done - full lights, sound, costumes, Bree taking some of her clothes off and a fake beer being poured on my head - sure its not time to cash in some of that vay-kay and come out to Cali!?

The show opens next week and it has been one of the more fun pieces that I have gotten to work on. I feel like I am doing some really good work - some of the best since Macbeth (for those that came to see that) and I really dig the writing. The work that everyone is putting into the show is amazing - Bree is doing such a wonderful job, both acting and producing the show (with next to no money!), I wish you guys could all come and see her. So funny, as she always is, and she steals a scene or two with her realistic wit and charm. I have some pictures of the set and I will upload them on Monday (as I have not the time right now nor the desire to wait for them to load from my camera to the computer)

She got her contract for the TV show this week and so they should be hammering that out anytime now and starting production soon.

Her WD-40 callback went good and I think the Nintendo thing was a no-go - the producers loved her, but they didn't end up using the mom character and so I guess she is going to have to do an Xbox 360 commercial to spite them! =)

Work has been good for me, as you have seen from the last few posts and I have to work tomorrow/today and Monday. Bree is heading to the theatre to clean tomorrow... it is kinda dirty and then rehearsal again tomorrow night.

Well... it is late, Bree is getting ready for bed and I should too - Jabez is already asleep... we just got a late late late dinner and I had three cups of joe... not the best idea before bedtime, but then again I am not always the smartest cookie!

Good Night True Believers!
