So, sorry I haven't written for a little while, but things have been a little crazed around here. Primarily because we successfully launched Blithe Spirit which the producer here at the Monomoy Theatre aptly titled, Noël Coward's Hamlet.
We've been having such a fantastic time doing the show, despite how hectic it was getting it to fly (technical rehearsals until 2:00 a.m. and whatnot). The audiences seem to love us, and I am getting recognized around town as Elvira, the mischievous ghost.
As usual a couple of the local papers have written quick reviews on the show. It's always fun to see what they have to say.

The days have also been a little nuts because for the last several days my family was here to see the show! My father came all the way out from Oregon, and my sister, Jennifer, who lives in Maine and her family (including their four small children) came. She brought the girls, Anne (8) and Sarah (6) to see the play, and they were just enthralled. She also had me give them a tour of the whole theater, and with how excited they were about the whole business, I think Jennifer had better watch out lest her little girls get swept up by show business like us poor souls.
During the day we're all working very hard putting together the second big musical of the summer, Once Upon a Mattress, which is most definitely the silliest comedy I've ever been involved with. It's absolutely ridiculous. We've all been here for several weeks now, and the demands of the theatre don't let up for an instant, so things from time to time get admittedly a little tense, but this particular play must simply be cheery no matter what, so it's kicking us up into high spirits every day.
Ah! Time for rehearsal! Bye!
