Wandering Millieland Without a Spyglass

Hello from the trenches of American Theatre. Currently directing Thoroughly Modern Millie at Solano College, an hybrid of the Solano Youth Theatre and Solano College Theatre. Shaping the future of American Theatre, one actor at a time, in a superb production of a happy-tappy show.

Problems thus far: communication, schedules, conflicts and loss of sleep. All of which are to be expected.

Unexpected issues: there's no Judas Hole or secret entrance to the Speakeasy. How this happened is a mystery. Supreme lack of communication, and as I'm at the helm, this is my mistake. I need to find a way to do better last time. So that next time I know what to do.

Missing from my life: relaxation.

And I seem to have contracted fleas from Andrew Zollinger's dog. Alarming.
