A LOVE LETTER

A love letter to theatre

I love you arriving early to rehearsal to make sure everything is ready and in the right place.

I love you tiny moment before the first few people arrive while I sit sipping coffee imagining what the show will look like. I love you first three people to arrive as we have an unexpected chat about our day before the rest of the cast arrives. I love you scheduling …. I didn’t think I did… but I do. I love you silly questions about scheduling that are answered on the rehearsal schedule. I love you moment when an actor misses a line and has to restart. I love you missed music cue. I love you face of the confused actor once the music cue has been missed. I love you crazy costume lady… whomever you are. I love you knowing look at the stage manager when an actor blows you away with their talent. I love you accomplishing the impossible with those you love.

Finding Balance

What a whirlwind producing our company’s first show was! On opening night, when the lights came up to reveal everyone in the audience, I remember thinking “Hey, maybe we are going to be okay.” The journey was not easy by any means. Navigating starting a business within the first year of marriage was no easy task. I can’t imagine having a more gracious and giving partner. We are learning everyday how to best navigate running a business together. How do we maintain a successful business while still dedicating enough time to work on our relationship? I think it is only something that we will get better at but the learning curve is steep. Especially for me.
