Well, it's been awhile since I was able to post. The Laramie Project has landed and left. It was a great ride. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I love the cast. They did a fantastic job. The whole last week of rehearsals I kept yelling at them (in a sweet kind of way), "Louder, Faster, Funnier". I know funnier is an odd one for The Laramie Project, but the humor of the characters is what makes it human and real. There was enough drama in the content of the script and I just wanted them to be real and talk and listen to each other. I really really really don't like it when actors try to add to the drama by being "dramatic".
During the production week of the play I was also interviewing for a promotion at work. Talk about double the stress, double the fun. The good news is I got the promotion and I am very excited about the job - started on May 22. It is a lot more responsibility and I had to negotiate this at home before I agreed to take it. I am excited to have a challenge and let's not forget earning a larger pay check.
So something had to give and it was this blog and my Creative Mamas website. But, here I am again. Interestingly enough, while I wasn't "doing" I was brainstorming and I hope to implement some changes soon. Look for the first chapter of my workbook to come out soon. Title: TBD. I have also added some links to the blogs of new friends. I'm glad to be back online. More to come soon.
