Hi there - so, my Grandmother is now in a rehab facility where she is being rehabed and things like that. Her dementia is not getting any better (does it ever?), but we're told that this well help her start "over" and we'll go from there. As long as she is comfortable and still with us, that is what counts. I stopped by her place the other night - which is where my vocal coaching studio is (in her garage) and my brother and mother live (it's a duplex) and where I spent at least a good portion of my childhood and early adult life, and found it very strange to be there. There's a play in this somewhere, and maybe someday it will happen.
In other news... is there other news? Just the normal stuff, I suppose. We opened Beauty and the Beast Jr last night, which is fine. We won't talk about the train wreck in Act Two where Gaston, for the first time ever, was two beats behind the music, and didn't bother to catch up and the ensemble took their cues from him. Even though I was in the pit (with me and the computer) waving my baton and mouthing the words, no one seemed to notice. We'll be running that number today before the matinee. I do like the "Jr" shows and I like the accompaniment they send you, especially for the Disney shows. We've been so good in rehearsal following the music and such, I hope we can pull that together.
