I don't think I've posted a blog in Lucida Grande font yet.
So there you go.
I'd like to blog about something theatre and/or school-related, but not much has sparked my interest there lately. Lots of people don't show up for rehearsal, or when they do show up, they leave early. There seems to be a general feeling of inevitability about this, as if nothing can be done.
But something can be done.
Next time I direct a show, I just won't let anyone in the cast if they're simultaneously involved in sports, work, debate and/or some kind of family crisis. Sorry kids, you'll just have to choose between doing theatre and doing all that other stuff.
I realize this means I'll only be doing 4 person shows cast entirely with freshmen from now on, but so be it!
I have spoken!

Geez, I hope you have full body armor, a helmet, and a fog horn! If you can wait 10-12 years, I'll send you a completely devoted thespian for your stage. Love the "You don't vacuum gravy!"
You do seem to be rather adamant on this. When other people come to you to try out for the Spring play, if they have previous engangements, then you should simply say to them "Begone".
