In cleaning out my rehearsal notes, there are three things in particular that I want to remember:

1. The Illusion of the First Time
2. The 4th Wall and How to Use It
3. Buttoning Scenes or Songs

Old concepts, to be sure, but they are, nevertheless, things I want to rethink.

It's been so long since I posted any regular news - Sound of Music is keeping all of us pretty busy, but that's a good thing. I'd rather be making my living doing this than anything else in the world. I actually can't believe that I've ever done anything else - or did the other career for as long as I did. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time on something that wasn't right for me. Lesson for us all - and not just in careers. I'm learning a lot, too, which is always a plus. And a director that makes you think about and see new things in a show you've grown up with is also a major plus. I hope I can work with them again. Short post for now - more later, as we've got to get ready for this evening's performance.
