No business like show business

Have I mentioned I’m directing a play? If I forgot, well, I am: it’s called The Sword Without, and Terror Within, and it opens next week. (More info forthcoming.) Anyway, we’ve been rehearsing it these past two weeks in library study rooms. It’s worked well enough, but it wasn’t till tonight at our company runthrough at the theater itself that I realized I’d forgotten how magical theaters are. It was like stepping into another world almost. All of the excitement of putting on a show returned, accompanied by a burst of much-needed energy and rejuvenation. I’m raring to go — this magic of theatre is addicting as all get out.
