Goodness gracious, it's been a long time since I did a simple, non-pimpage post here. I guess I should update you all on what's happening, but there isn't too much to update you on.

*I'm about to finish my second year as a full-time teacher, and I've finished the LATAAP process. That means all I need to be certified is to finish the coursework.

I know I haven't had a lot of blog posts lately. I've been a little busy. For all of you who came out to see the TPH production of Rumors, thanks.  I really hope you enjoyed the show even HALF as much as we enjoyed putting it on stage. This was my return to performing after nearly three years of working behind-the-scenes, and it was the best show I ( Read more... )

Well, guys, it's been an insane summer, and between a sore back and a head cold, today I feel like I've been hit by a truck. But I can tell ya, Lucky Stiff turned out WONDERFULLY. I've never been in a play with so many separate incidents, disasters and outright tragedies stricking the cast and the set, but everyone worked tremendously hard and we ( Read more... )

Two things, friends, separate real Theatre People from other folk. One is that we're terrified to say "MacBeth" in a theatre. The other is that REAL Theatre People do whatever it takes, even when things start to fall apart, because the Show Must Go On.

Interestingly enough, I brought my laptop here to the Thibodaux Playhouse theatre to record some of my actors' lines for our production of Lucky Stiff, opening next week. Imagine my surprise when I found out the library apparently has a wi-fi connection. So I thought, while I'm waiting for the rest of the cast to arrive, I'd drop a line to you guys ( Read more... )

Hey, gang -- tonight was the first night of auditions for the Thibodaux Playhouse's summer musical, Lucky Stiff, directed by yours truly. We had some talented people show up tonight, but not enough of them! The field is still wide open, and we've got another night of auditions planned for tomorrow. If you'd be interested -- men and women -- ( Read more... )

In yet another example of exactly how abysmal I am at keeping schedules straight, tonight it was brought to my attention that I've only got a week left until the auditions for the Thibodaux Playhouse's summer musical, Lucky Stiff. This wouldn't be quite so big a deal if not for the teeny, minor detail that I happen to be the director of said ( Read more... )

Folks who have known me for a few years will remember an exciting time back in 2004 when, having utterly lost my mind, I wrote and was featured in a stage play called The 3-D Radio Show at the Thibodaux Playhouse. This ensemble comedy features a group of modern actors who decide to put on an old-fashioned radio variety show, and virtually ( Read more... )

Well, gang, 2006 is rapidly coming to a close. So for the last Think About It of the year, let's take a look back at some of the events that made 2006 ever so memorable.

Think About It: 2006 -- Year of the Pain in the Butt 

Well, after a grand total of one day off, tonight I make the long drive back to Thibodaux again, this time for our monthly meeting of the Thibodaux Playhouse Board of directors. Order of business for this meeting ( Read more... )
