Hot damn, I’ve missed being in the theatre! Auditions for my new play were last week and optimism is high. We had a much better turnout than expected with respect to both the quantity and quality of people who showed up. Now I just need to decide who to cast. This is usually the fun part but I’m really having trouble with it this time. But in a good way! Mostly.

Whereas before I was stressed from the thought of not getting the right people to come to audition, now I am stressed from trying to find the right venue in which to perform the show. Hopefully I’ll find one this week and then I can stress about not having enough time to rehearse, or about how we’re going to build a set that won’t shake when six doors are all slammed at once, or my favorite one of how we’re going to get enough people to come and see the show to pay for all of the production costs. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Oh yeah, because I love it.
