I've reached the point in the season now where I am looking forward to my first day off. That'll happen in a few weeks when they go into rehearsal for the comedy that's being produced. No music in that one so I'll be free! In general, I am really enjoying the people here still. I know what you're thinking, "wow that sounds kind of harsh." I mean it does, but you gotta understand what theater folk can be like.
In years past there has been a lot of issues with people being respectful and kind to each other. I mean it's hard to work together every day and then come back to a house where everyone lives. For instance, yesterday my roommate, let's call her The Mrs., she really upset me in rehearsal. I left the room and she changed something in the music with my assistant while I was gone. Not cool! I came back into the room, found out what had happened. Took a deep breath and approached her on the next break to say, we're not changing that. I don't change your dances when you leave the room so you're not changing the music when I do. You know, these things happen when you work with people. You have to communicate...no big deal. But then you have to come back to the house and live with that person. Now The Mrs. and I have learned how to deal with things like that because we're great friends but that's not the case with everyone here.
So the moral of this story....I'm looking forward to a day off!
Ciao from the Mountains of Musical Madness.
