Crappy Weather and A Must See Musical Event

It is freezing cold and rainy today. It's June. And it's cold.

Sigh.

The silver lining? Hmmmm, sleeping in to the sound of rain on the windows. Our plants and lawn and big, backyard tree coming into bloom. Saskatchewan farmers crops flourishing. And, I suppose, I needn't care less since we are in rehearsals all the time.

Rehearsals are going well. Rehearsals are always intense times for actors. Full of exploring, frustration, over-flowing brains. My personal experience is a challenging one, because my control freak comes out to play during rehearsal periods. I strive immediately for perfection and don't allow myself to play in the muck, much. My ability to learn everything incredibly fast is both a blessing and a curse. My intention for this show was to have fun and make some money - period. So, I am trying to remember that and choose to smile more than frown in concentration. I know many people say this, but I am a perfectionist when it comes to the stage. And perfection is not always that creative, I acknowledge that.

The show is going to be good. Excellent, even...perhaps. But good for sure. I have many songs and dances and Leon is practically always on stage, much like last summer. It is a busy show for us...but funny and...fun. For lack of better words. Here are the show dates this summer for anyone that is thinking of dropping through Moose Jaw this summer:

Personally, I think absolutely everyone should come see us in this show. #1 - because I am lonely and want to see anyone and everyone who is willing to come and see me! #2 - because if this show is well attended and well received they will most likely mount it again next summer which could mean more employment for L and I. #3 - to observe the coolest profession for married people aka getting to see Leon make out with another woman while I stand idly by...Oh and #4 - because you will laugh and cry and shake your head and have the kind of fun that you can only have at a musical.

Plus, the weather may be crappy enough that swimming, biking or bbq-ing won't be much fun.

Ah, now there's a good marketing pitch...
