One of the cool things about working in Burlington is that you get to work with local folks. Like the state representative for Burlington! He's one of the 4 other actors in my show from Burlington. They are all so funny and just so grounded and all have these other lives that are so interesting! It's a very different experience. It's reminiscent of high school sometimes, when you had the lead and everyone in the cast wanted to be your friend. Not only that, but there is a gleeful joy reminding me of that time when theatre was fun and about playing and not about focusing on how it will get you your next gig.

We do a preview on Tuesday and I'm still not off book, nor is "Mom", and we're just a tad nervous about grey matter retention. I don't stop talking. The good thing is... there's a bar, and folks can bring their cocktails to their seats. Tech tomorrow!
