Wow, have I been busy these last few weeks! I've been preparing for the opening of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was last night. We've had weeks of rehearsals and a week of previews. Last night we had a successful opening with a great crowd. Hopefully we'll get some good reviews. :) I love this show! It has great music (Mendelssohn and a composer here from New York, Mark Bennett who is super talented and very gracious.) We got so spoiled with all the opening night treats and goodies: roses, cookies, fruit baskets, sparkling cider, chocolate-covered strawberries, brownies, cake, candles, candy (and that was all before the show.) Afterward, we had two cast parties - one for the cast, crew and orchestra and another for everybody who attended the show, which we were, of course, invited to. The latter was pretty loud, crowded and hardly any food. I actually preferred the quiet outdoor party with an excellent spread. The show runs until August 22, so let me know if you'd like to come see it! If you like Shakespeare and you like music, you'll love this show.
Yes, this is an upside-down piano. The concept is that love turns one's world upside-down. And that gives you a little preview of the show. :)
