When all you need is a little cheese...

I think the memories of the weekend have been melted out of my head. Dear GOD it was a hot and humid one. Caveats of time, place and space as well as names are going to go out of my head and my editing is a bit, um, lacking…but here goes:( Read more... )

This weekend, is Rose Jones’ Wild Irish Pub Sing and more silly fun from other. The weather looks to be amazing, so I am excited by the prospects ahead. Hope to see you in the shire.

Due to special circumstances, this weekend, The Interpreters are going to have two additional shows at the Black Adder (in the Beer Garden).

On Friday night, come see us at 5:00 pm and 8:30 pm

On Saturday, come see us at 12:30 pm and at 2:00 pm.

The White Flower shows will be the same as normal...if you can call what we do normal...

See you there!

Today was beautiful.

Damn, I hope I got all of this...I have been going back and adding/rewriting for a week. Forgive the typos.

The faire is over and I am slowly realizing it. I have been manicured, pedicured and soon will have hairs cut (this is now done). Props and such are home, and I must say goodbye to a great season…but before I do, just LET ME TELL YOU what happened THIS weekend…All the standard disclaimers apply, time, order, people, things will be missed, no matter how much I loved the moments, but here we go…

Till next year dear friends…in this life, or the next, keep the faith, keep the joy, and keep it inside till the warmth of the summer makes it bloom again…and don ‘t forget to wish me happy birthday on opening day next year.

MD part Otto

Can you hear me? I can’t very well (though it’s getting better), but the weekend was an intense and fabulous one. Many things to mention, with all the normal disclaimers…away we go…( Read more... )

As time passes, memories begin to fade, so before I forget too much, here is the weekend in review…well, my perspective on it. There were a hell of a lot of people there. All the standard rules apply. ( Read more... )

Oops, I forgot, I got to sit in the throne briefly and be queen. A patron offered to be my king and I changed seats. It wasn't as much fun when I couldn't be Anne Boleyn. Perhaps when Anna comes back I could play.

I have already been assured that I can pre-purchase and have waiting for me on closing day THOSE chocolates...those AMAZING chocolates that make me cry for joy.

I already feel better.

So, last night, I had my last runs of Lying Valet and Lost Princess. During the evening, some of the actors who had seen it earlier in the week went out of their way to come up to me and tell me how much they liked the Lost Princess. I was so very pleased. One went as far as to say it was one of the best children's theater production they ever saw at MDRF. I was damn honored that anyone would say that.

My actors have done VERY well. I am very proud of them. Unfortunately, last night was the only time I will ever be able to see the full show again. It runs at 2:00 at Gatehouse and I have to be at the Fortune stage for my 2:30 show. I will watch the opening a few more times if I can, just to gauge the crowds (and cause I am particularly proud of that part), but they are doing fine and don't "need" me anymore, and, as a director, there is a time that you have to let the show go and just be what it is.

SO GO SEE LOST PRINCESS! With kids or without. I have always been of the belief that you have to entertain the adults just as much as the kids (why I don't like Barney much...no humor for adults, while I can STILL watch a bunch of Sesame St. or the old Electric Company and laugh). There is some acrobatics, some "musical soundtrack", and a whole lot of fun. Please support these guys and all their hard work.

Next, I went to see the final dress run of the Scottish Play. Their directors were well supportive for their actors as well, providing for them the security they needed for a good show. Though none of you will ever get to see the dark and enveloping version that I saw (blood in floodlights is cool), I do very much recommend that production as well. There are some stunning performances in it. The directors did a great job. There are moments that, hopefully with the ongoing run, will go away, but they are small and insignificant glitches and will not undermine your overall enjoyment.

I got home at 11:20, in bed by 12, and up at 5:00 am to work. I will sleep well tonight and should be able to go to bed by 10 as I should for the run.

I am so very excited about this season. YAYEE!
