Whew.  It's been a busy, but good time.  The VERY exciting news is that I won the Barbizon Award for Excellence in Lighting Design for The Witch of Blackbird Pond at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Region 1!!!  Now I get to go to Washington DC in April to compete in the National Competition (as well as take master classes and ( Read more... )

School is so much better when you only have it 2 days a week. Too bad I didn't discover this until my last semester. Although I don't get how I can have such a minimal schedule, not even be working crazy hours, and still have such a busy schedule. Oh theatre, how you eat my life and how I love you.

So since we last talked I flew back to Boston, had a lot of fun with my roomie, cleaned a lot, got distracted from productivity by the mega marathon of top model (I know, I'm thoroughly shamed), and then packed and came up to Portland to visit my guy. It's been great having a week to spend together rather than just 2-3 days. Walked around the ( Read more... )

Oh so much to write about.  Blackbird closed this afternoon.  I saw the school performance yesterday, which was a really incredible experience.  The energy was electric.  And we really seemed to capture their attention at the end.  Really makes me want to continue doing theatre for young audiences (not that I wasn't interested in it before, with ( Read more... )

So in the midst of Blackbird...which is going very well. It's a huge show and I think we are all feeling the pressure to make it come together. I have faith. Still tweaking the design, but as anyone who has ever worked with me knows, I will do that until opening night- and then I will watch the show and still wish I could tweak things :-P.

Blackbird loads in starting tomorrow.  That's pretty exciting.  Still have to clean up my magic sheet, and cue markers in script, but doing alright.  Should do laundry and clean the apartment a little bit, cause it won't get done for the next two weeks otherwise.  Have a paper to write for Tuesday and some plays to read, but nothing too strenuous ( ( Read more... )
