Runs with knives!
Rehearsals are heating up for DINNER WITH FRIENDS, which I am directing for Falcon Theater. We had rehearsal tonight in our old rehearsal space; we get possession of the theater on Saturday morning. Dinner tonight was a run out to Mecklenburg Gardens in Clifton. I…
We had a morning rehearsal (from 11a-2p) at the theater this morning. The cast decided they wanted to grab “brekkie” at Pepper Pod beforehand, so we met there at 10a for eggs, toast, sausage, cottage cheese, and orange juice. One heck of a way to…
Today was our tech/build day. We went from an empty theater to a mostly-full set in one long day. A giant thank you to the cast and crew for working so efficiently. We’re mostly there!
Dinner after rehearsal was two of those awful microwavable burritos that you can get three for a dollar at Kroger’s. And they still make a profit on them. I cannot believe it, though my aching gut reminds me that it’s true!

I am pleased with the hard work that the actors and crew are doing to make this show great.
Tonight was final dress of DINNER WITH FRIENDS, the show I’m directing for Falcon Theater. After scurrying working on a few last-minute details, I was ready for the rehearsal. Our friends Rob & Todd sat in on the show, Todd snapping tons of digital pictures…
