You look LOVELY!! Hope the opening was wonderful and you broke both legs!

Thank you, Courtney, what a sweet thing to say.

The real vividness of the greens isn't as obvious in the photo as I'd like it to be. One of the costumers said re: the makeup, "You look like a mermaid!" Which is fine. Were I playing a mermaid. Personally, I think I look more like a drag queen. But given that one of the lines another character says about me includes the phrase "wearing too much eye makeup," it's entirely appropriate for the show.

I am amazed how you balance all this... what play are you performing?

It's a brand new play called "The Woods of Weaver." Wednesday night was the world premiere. It's fun, playing a character no one has ever played before.

I wish I could say I balance all of it, but frankly, I have way too much on my plate right now. This afternoon I have to tell a director that I cannot work on his project. I don't have the time or the energy. The grading is piling up and my body is telling me I need to slow down. Next year should be a different story, since I'm supposed to teach fewer classes, but for right now I've already got enough going on.
