When Theatre Overlaps (or from Vietnams to the Victorians)

I have been a bad blogger lately--overcommitted, as usual. I am opening A Piece of My Heart for the Sage Veterans Week 2010 on Thursday and have began today rehearsing NYSTI's production of A Christmas Carol which opens in December. This week of overlap involves twelve-hour days of straight rehearsal, but on a snowy morning in November, who would want to be doing anything else?

Other events for the Veterans Week 2010 can be found on the website: www.sage.edu/veterans. The scope, ambition and creativity of the week really serves to show what Sage does best: collaborating with each other and the community to produce quality artistic, therapeutic and educational offerings.

When I get back to directing one play, I will get back to blogging. There is a lot to say about NYSTI and A Christmas Carol. Like the Dickens' tale, let's hope that the past, present and future align to bring the company the salvation it deserves. More on that later.

Do come see A Piece of My Heart this weekend. Mention that you read about it on my blog and you are eligible for five dollars tickets. Call 244 - 2248 to reserve seats. I hope to see you there.
