The Saints are winning, I know that’s what you came here to find out.  However, since this is a theater, and we are in the middle of auditions, I hope you will indulge me  some theater news.

The first night of auditions is behind us and the turnout was a little light although I sort of expected it.  One of my favorite parts of auditions is reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. Of all the people who came down tonight there was only one I have not worked with or seen before (I need to get out more I know).  It was great to see everyone including those at the Board Meeting upstairs (sorry folks).

Anyway, on to tomorrow.

I have heard more folks are coming and I look forward to a fresh batch of possible cast members.

This is my first time here in a little while and so far, sitting at home a cup of coffee on my desk and down booties from IKEA on my feet, it seems to be going very well. Auditions are tonight and tomorrow night and I have had emails from people interested in auditioning which is a good thing given that I know some of their past work.

I love the Westport stage. It is 3/4 round and low. More wide open space than a small cattle ranch in Montana (but fewer trees). The last time, my first here, we did a comedy involving the Klan. Do you remember?

I have a few interesting bits up my sleeve for this show. Should be interesting at least.

This is going to be fun and I can’t wait to get started.
