Shaken, Not Stirred
I'm getting my life prepared for the show at Media upcoming. It's aptly named "All Shook Up." Although I've been waiting for this opportunity quite a while, it does involve some intensive maneuvering. First there's the matter of my practice. In this regard I am actually pretty happy that we have only about 10 days before moving into Tech. Basically it means moving clients into evening slots instead of daytime which actually makes most of them pretty happy (I usually don't work nights). Tech week I've decided to just take off so that's settled. Then during the run I will be seeing patients during the day and performing at night. Other than perhaps being ridiculously tired, I should manage fine. Carolyn is worried though. She's having some difficulty understanding how I'm going to do everything. She ought to have learned by now that I have two speeds; fast and off. I just won't be able to shut off until April 5th at around 6PM at which time I will be ready for Happy Acres. Actually, given the disruption this causes at home, Carolyn is being a pretty good egg.
Got a letter from Vince Marini, the director of All Shook Up. This guy is enthusiastic and his enthusiasm is contagious. I am extremely excited as well as somewhat nervous. I feel as I felt as a kid going to a new school; where is everything? What do I do? Where do I go? Will I be liked? Yes my young friends, one does not outgrow certain insecurities. As I've said before, it's only acting that makes me crazy. Thankfully it also makes me happier than anything else in my life... except for love, except for love...(okay that also makes me crazy sometimes. I guess with big potential rewards always comes big potential agita).
