And books! I have Coronado bookmarks for everyone! They look really amazing! During the Hamlet process we had to order all of our ad materials twice because of the change of venue. So, when I received a text from our artistic director reading: “I got the bookmarks and postcards and they look bad”, I jumped out of my skin and called him immediately. I was freaking out! He said, “you didn’t get the second part of my text did you”? I said, “all I got was that they look bad”. He then said, “yep…they look bad…badass”! I fell to the floor laughing…part crying. My heart was racing. My adrenaline was pumping. Thank God! It couldn’t be possible that the ad materials looked fantastic…I couldn’t possibly have gotten it right. It just never happens. 
So, I will be handing to these to everyone I know…and don’t know. This is the time where I turn into a zealot. I will preach about this show until you surrender. You will come out and see it! It’s going to be really amazing. Granted, we are in the stage of the process of frustration, anger, upset, drama, I have no idea what’s going on most of the time. But, that’s exactly where I want to be. If I felt at all in control, this show would suck. Because I am completely disgruntled…it’s bound to be dangerous, exciting, raw, compelling and gritty. So, if anyone in LA misses out on this show…you will, indeed, be missing out on something truly amazing.
I also think I learned from Hamlet how far not to stretch myself during the process. Not physically, because I could benefit from some stretching, but in the way of taking on too many responsibilities and frying my brain. So, I have responsibilities, but manageable ones. See, I’m growing.
Four more rehearsals until preview night!!! Holy shit!!! Ok…I may have just had a mini coronary. And, I kinda want to puke. But, that’s normal right?
Oh, and this is Nefer, Patrick. The most beautiful feline in the world…inside and out. She brings me much joy and peace.
Ha ha ha ha. There’s that peace I was talking about.
