"Guys and Dolls" Week

As I mentioned before (goodness, was that in December!) our musical-theatre troupe's current production is "Guys and Dolls". Yours truly appears as Harry the Horse (from Brooklyn) and as a dancer in Havana. (Dancer!)

There always comes the time in rehearsal reckoning when the first performance looms and we rehearse every evening. That time has arrived. The first performance is Friday, 20 March 2009. Therefore, we rehearse every evening this week–not to mention all day this previous Saturday. It makes me tired just thinking about it, but it also whips the show into shape in a way that less concentrated attention just doesn't do.

The consequence is that the 30 hours given over to rehearsing and performing this week is a constraint on my time. Now, whether that means less blogging because of less available time, or more blogging to try to retain a bit of normal lifestyle, I'm not so sure.

But it probably means something. I just thought I'd let y'all know.

    you can treat 'em all day with the vitamin A
    and the bromo fizz
    but the medicine never gets anywhere near
    where the problem is
    she can see that she's getting a name for herself
    and the name aint his!
    a poyysun can develop la grippe
    la grippe
    la post-nasal drip!
    from a lack of community property
    and the feeling she's getting too old
    a poyysun can develop a great- big- COLD!
    aaah-CHOOO!

    stay away from Adelaide – you don't want a cold if you're working this hard on the boards. Oh, and break a leg!
