Thursday, February 8th
The last train left Anatevka this past weekend and 'Fiddler on the Roof' is no more. It was a lot of fun, a good show and I learned a lot about holding my own onstage with some veteran performers so I'm glad I did it. The major criticism I heard about my performance as Lazar is that I was just too cute for the role. Go figure. As soon as I can get my hands on a photo, I'll post it and you can decide for yourselves if my aging self with Uncle Fester eye makeup was cute or not.The next few weeks are given over to catching up at work and getting the 2007 version of Politically Incorrect Cabaret ready. My number is fine, as it is just stand there and sing and most of the rest of the music is getting there. The transitions are still pretty horrid but I just wrote them last week and they haven't been rehearsed properly. It should be fine by the time we do it on the 23rd and 24th. A Nashville date is up in the air and we are booked for Atlanta on the 14th of April.
Nothing else on the horizon yet. Some auditions coming up this month and next. I assume I will do either 'Cabaret' or 'Evita' late this spring. It will depend, to a certain extent, on Tommy's school schedule. He starts rehearsing for La Boheme with the opera this next week for late March performances.
Not much new on the work front. Various and sundry plans for expansion in geriatrics clinical services, but nothing yet beyond the 'what if' stage. To make it all work, we're going to have to hire more people which will be difficult as good clinical geriatricians interested in working within academic systems are hard to find.
We're looking at making a New Years trip with friend to London this next year. Sounds like it could be a blast - a group from Birmingham theater rodding around Merrie Olde England.
