Well, Sunday was the final performance of 'A Christmas Carol' as adapted by
Jeff Weiss. All went well, the cast party at our home was fun and we have our
evenings back.
We have been swearing that this is our first and last performance. The
amount of time that rehearsals take and the stress involved in being busy nearly
every single night of the week, especially when we have so little time to
prepare for the Wed. Coffee House and the Thursday Bible Study, are just
exhausting.
However...two of my favorite plays are coming up. Jeff will be directing "'Night Mother" and the other theater instructor at the college will be directing "Fiddler on the Roof" in the Spring. As much as I'd love to be in Jeff's, I wont' kid myself that I have the talent, time or memory for a 2 actress play. I CAN convince myself that my singing is just enough on this side of decent to try out for "Fiddler." It is one of my favorite plays and has been since I was 6. Am I nuts? Probably. But, hey, if you don't live a full life, is your life 1/2 full or 1/2 empty?
