Alas, our play is done

I know, March 18 was my last post. Every year I want to write about the play while I am directing it and every year I am caught in the tsunami of work and the tide does not recede until a week or so after the performance. So here I am, with a house that needs cleaning, the gardens calling for attention and bookkeeping that is beginning to resemble a mountain range sprawled across my desk.

This was a good year. The play was well done and very well received. The kids were delightful to work with and I had the special added element this year by having my brother from Santa Fe, NM and my cousin from CT come for the performances. A full house and a full theater make for a full life.

So for the next few days I will add posts about lessons learned, characters met and lives changed. Stay tuned.
