Good morning, all! I slept poorly, with one very peculiar dream of me working at the Miami University Library between 1965 amd 1971, but I'm not sure it was the Miami University Library. It was definitely a library and it seemed huge. I'm sure a lot of it's due to my anxieties about how the piece goes this morning. I invited Jim Morgan of the York Theatre, but he's not responded to any of my emails since his first "maybe I can make it." My friends Melly Garcia and our E&T DR Julie Miller will be there, and I think there will be a few producers and a few friends of the cast.
DR Jose, if you'd like to come at 11, we're in the Frederick Loewe Room of the Dramatists Guild, 1501 Broadway.
I'm enthisiastic but I'm also a perfectionist and there are a few wild cards I hope we can pull together between 10 and 11, before the "presentation" begins. We cut two of the original choral pieces that inspired this thing yesterday: they're too difficult to learn in 12 hours with 20 other pieces of music, and I think the show is still a little too Jesus & Mary oriented, a curse of it's being composed of Christmas music. This is the reason I was looking at Old Maid songs yesterday: we want a holiday piece for general audiences, not something smacking of a Christian coalition. I trust DJ very much, and I think his idea to create this is a really good one. Let's see how the reactions go today. Send those vibes!
So, that's my morning and early afternoon. After that, I have no idea what will occur, but I will eventually wend my way homeward and report.
