Opening night

Here I am with my beloved assistant director, Judi. She's one of the sweetest people on the planet. And other photos from the play are underneath...for a slideshow, just go to:

Today I'm resting at home until I have to go to the theater...still, there are quite a few last minute details to attend to. I started out the day with a note to the cast:

In case I haven't said this enough, THANK YOU all for making this show what it is. We have all worked so hard these past few months, bringing this show to life. Just think of all that we've been through together: we've had rehearsals that last close to midnight, many a beer at Downtown, we've had fights, some of us have lost pets (I did), some of us have lost loved ones...and yet, most of all, I think we've had a lot of fun, and so many laughs that I couldn't even begin to count all the jokes.

In some ways, doing this show has always been a dream come true for me. I've loved it since I was a kid, and almost got to do it right after high school, but chickened out. Watching it come to life, with such a professional cast and crew, is more than I could have ever dreamed. Thank you all for helping make that dream a reality.
