The show begins in three hours. The final rehearsal was rough, but I've had roughter dress rehearsals, and there were some outright brilliant spots. Knowing my actors, this'll turn out to be one heck of a good show.<br><br>And then I'll sleep...

Last night's rehearsals went very well. My cast is returning to high spirits, and that makes things much better for everyone. The stage is complete, the lighting is done (and boy howdy does it look nice), and I'm putting the finishing touches on the incidental music - Kronos Quartet's <i>Different Trains</i>, Gardiner's conduction of Beethoven's <i>Symphony No 9 Allegro Assai (Ode to Joy)</i>, and Cake's <i>Prolong the Magic</i>. One last rehearsal tonight, and then it's showtime.

The show opens in two days. This last week has been a challenge... my actors, all of them wonderful, fine actors, now realize just how difficult the roles are. Those of you that have read the script know how non-linear the lines are. Conversations are intertwined, non sequiters abound. Now that I think about it, it's not too different from a chatroom conversation, or email, or newsgroups for that matter. But imagine if you had to speak the same way you type. My actors have found it very difficult, and now there's doubt in their minds if they'll be ready in time. I think we will -- I've seen far greater miracles in theater. But it's draining them and me. So much of the show depends on the pacing. I feel more like a conductor than a director with this script, waving my baton and scowling at the bassoons falling farther and farther behind.<br><br>
Don't get me wrong. It'll be a fine, fine show. It could still be a great show. In any event, it's been a tremendous amount of work. I'll be glad to see it done, but proud of what we've done. If you're reading this and you're here in Athens, I hope you come see the show.<br><br>
<i>Hope deferred maketh the something sick. Sometimes I feel it coming all the same. And then I go all queer. Relieved, and at the same time ... appalled. Appalled!</i> -- Vladimir

When this weblog first went public, I received an email from <a href="http://www.aphrodigitaliac.com/mm/">Gary Baum</a> in California. His license plates read W8N4GDO, and he's <a href="http://www.aphrodigitaliac.com/mm/archive/1999/11/22/">written a very nice essay</a> about the reactions he's gotten from them.
