And So Adieu

Shakespeare, farewell!
I love working in the world of Shakespeare. I feel just filled up with language and action and poetry and power whenever I dig into his words. I felt very challenged by Rosalind, a challenge I hope to attempt again and continue to work on...I haven't quite cracked that nut, if such a thing is possible. I loved seeing everyone so playful, I thrive on play - and yet, I often find myself so serious! I say to my serious brain, "oh, stop it you!" and then I blow raspberries. I want to learn more clowning and foolery....(I'm hoping to take the month-long intensive at Shakespeare & Co. this winter.)

R&G opened to (as I hear) rave reviews. I am filled with pride and satisfaction. The semi-formal rocked my world. I'm getting things organized for the improv festival. Signed up today for the next work period in the ticket office - had taken time off for the show but now can get back to making some money (a good thing too, since I'm totally broke). As of today it's two months exactly until Tom and I move into our new apartment - giddy schoolgirl giggles commencing. Starting to register for the fall's classes. Starting to think about Josie Hogan...read Long Day's Journey last night. So many things on the horizon....and it's a good thing, or I would be terribly depressed about R&G ending. I had the time of my life during this whole experience, from its conception to its culmination in a few days. It's hard to believe it's been occupying a sizable chunk of my brain for over a year. And soon it will all be photographs and memories.

Someone pour me a whiskey sour (which I'm told is a dead person's drink, thank you Bill c/o Bess) so I can recount "the old days."
