Day 295… During the first two and a half months of this year, I spent 44 days working out of town. For most of January, I was in Tampa rehearsing a new cast of Jersey Boys for the Norwegian Bliss. Then for the first two weeks of February, I was aboard the ship while it cruised the Caribbean and we got them up and running.
What you fit in to 24 hours pre-Covid is mind blowing, Richard! Having time to reflect must bring different feelings I imagine. This year has certainly made us all accept and deal with change. We’re all looking forward to the Biden administration and seeing the end of that ‘no words can describe’ man. Wishing you, Michael and cat a much improved 2021
My last gatherings were theatre board related. We pulled off a benefit on March 8th for 220 some supporters of Remy Bumppo Theatre and miraculously, no reported illness. On March 13th we cancelled a May event for Shattered Globe Theatre...thinking we would do it in the fall, but it became a virtual event at Halloween. We learned a lot about streaming and my tech game is way up. We watched the Patti LuPone this fall to support our Northlight Theatre and it is lovely to know you were minding the store. It was wonderful, poignant and a great way to support theaters across the country. I think I will cry when I am actually able to sit collectively in a darkened theater with the lights slowly going up. The cultural landscape will be different...in some ways for the better. Unlike the last four horrible years, we have an administration that cares about the Arts and I hope we can safely get everyone back into venues to experience the stories, old and new. Thanks for all you are doing...artists will be needed more than ever as we move forward. Now I will get back to playing Candy Land with my granddaughter...which brings quite a bit of joy. We are celebrating NYE at 7 EST and will watch the fireworks show in Dublin, Ireland so she can get to bed on time and I can get a good night’s sleep. Happy New Year to you, Michael and the Cat In The Bowl.
