Since it's just over halfway through the year, I figured I'd check in on my New Year's resolutions for 2008 and see how I'm doing: 1. I've read 19 books so far this year. Yeah, Houston, I'm in trouble. Considering how things are going I'm not sure if ...
We had full company runthrough for the show tonight. (The show is Long Ago & Far Away, the New Play Project one I mentioned a few weeks ago.) While of course there were things that still need work, it went quite well, all things considered. And ...
