Directing a Tony Kushner

Directing this show has been very fascinating for me. It's quite the job to direct something that you may never know quite what it means. Kushner is truly an intriguing and smart writer. There is so much buried in the text that it can be hard to get it all out on stage, get people to understand it, and make it look interesting. It's a strong show. I think we've got a hold on it. My cast seems nervous a bit but also really ready to get it on stage and in front of an audience. I'm interested to see how people will react to it.
I keep seeing people change their profile picture or put up new pictures on Facebook and it always makes me think, why do I have no new pictures? I'm sure that it's mostly because I am not good about carrying my camera around. Maybe I haven't done anything fun or crazy enough to really feel the need to document on film. I would like to think it's because I am living in the moment rather than hassling with a camera although I'm not sure that is entirely true.
Last night I had a homework nightmare. This huge, final essay was due right after the weekend in my dream and I hadn't even started the research on it. I woke up thinking I should get my shit together and start that essay so I don't stress about it but also relieved that I have more time.
This week should be a pretty crazy one for me. The show I'm directing is going through tech and dress all of this week and then performing Thursday, Friday and Saturday and my parents are coming to see it on Friday through Sunday. I'm excited they are coming. My fridge looks pretty depressing lately. I still need to go to the store to tide myself over until then. They haven't been here since September too when I didn't know all that much about Eugene. Now that I am more of an experienced Eugenite, I will hopefully be able to show them more fun places to go and whatnot.
