Whew! Finally caught up with 4 days of posts. I've been at Ocean Shores since Thursday morning hosting my annual "Actor's Retreat" which I think has gotten too large and out of control. Instead of reading scripts this year it just turned into 4 days of constant eating, drinking, beaching and too many late nights. I'm going to rethink and restructure if I host at all next year. The group grew to 12 people this year, to the point that we had to use my uncle's house next door for the extra bedrooms/bathroom.
Missing my chickens. I hope DH and DD have been taking good care of them. We've had some beautiful sunny days here on the coast and I understand it's been hot in town.
Haven't posted much lately. I'm stage managing the first show of the season at Tacoma Little Theater which opens on Sept. 2nd, so I've been spending a lot of time at the theater for auditions, callbacks, production meetings, etc. Rehearsals begin this week which will have me at the theater 5 out of 7 days per week, then every weekend when it opens as that's when the director hands running of the show over to the stage manager. The show is "The 25th Annual Spelling Bee of Putnam County", a funny musical with adults playing young spellers roles with a lot of improvisation involving 4 audience volunteers for every performance that will be chosen by me before each show. It's going to be a lot of fun - so if you're in the Tacoma area at all during September and enjoy live theater...?
Also, remember a couple of weeks ago I said I was going to see the Monkees in concert and was going to meet them after the show? So, it only took me 45 years, but I finally met Mickey Dolenz, (and Peter, and Davy). We had awesome seats, 2nd row, center. We were only a few feet from the front of the stage. I was close enough to see firsthand that without a doubt, yep, we are ALL 45 years older. Those guys are all in their mid-60's now, but they sounded great!
Here's the pics from the party after - I did get my photo taken with Davy Jones as well, but it's not on my computer yet.
