  • I Was Just About T–

    There’s no way to say this without coming across kinda princess-y and precious, but I was sending out my thank you cards from Christmas (yes, about a month late, thanks), and I noticed that one of the gifts purchased from my Amazon.com wish list never arrived. If you sent me The Donnas, I didn’t get…

  • Between Shows

    So last night, we sold out. That’s how it goes in theatre, I guess. I’m unused to how LA theatre works, but it appears that Megyn Price, our special guest of the night, has a good group of friends, the LA Times article helped, the Daily Bruin article helped, and the constant whining, bitching and…

  • Quietly.

    It’s 11:00 on a Friday night. I’m home alone. I’m wearing socks, shoes, jeans, a t-shirt, a heavy blue hoodie sweatshirt and a scarf. I’m still freezing. I’ve been sick for three days, and I just did my show. Despite the good review in today’s LA Times, we had a very small house. The smallest…

  • the beautiful ones.

    We were setting up the stage Friday afternoon, putting Glow-Tape along the edges of the platform. I was thinking about Glow-Tape, the glow-in-the-dark strips of tape that keep actors from falling on their faces in the dark, and how it was such a big part of my high school theatre experience. Glow-Tape reminds me of…

  • Damn.

    I had just written an entire entry and then my computer crashed. I guess it was a shitty entry, and fate wanted me to just forget it and move on. All I needed to say was that I now have DSL, which makes me very happy, as not having DSL made me want to cry…

  • This is Just a Preview

    So, the show has opened. Cue the swelling orchestra music. Cue the spotlight. Cue the bow. Thank you. Thank you. It was nothing. Thanks. Last night was kind of a preview, which means it’s a fancy dress rehearsal where people come and see the show as if it’s opening night because it kind of is…

  • I Love It. I Love It. I Truly, Truly Love It.

    Those are the opening lines to the show, and they’ve been pretty much playing in a loop inside my brain for two weeks. I am currently swimming in this show, surrounded in work. The copyeditor’s notes arrived today on the novel. It looks like a completely different language. I have to dive into the novel…

  • In the Clutch.

    Oh, man. It’s already 2003. Sorry I’ve been so absent. I had a good excuse, though. December was just the craziest month. First I was in Vegas, and then I was in Atlanta, and then Houston and then San Francisco, so I really didn’t get even a moment to come here and say hello to…

  • The Apology.

    Dear Child That I Don’t Have, But Might Have Someday, I feel I owe you an apology. You see, yesterday afternoon I got a clear vision of your future, and… I’m sorry to say, it doesn’t look pretty. Oh, it’s all innocent enough, but I got a glimpse of what it’ll be like for you…
