A Break from Writing

I felt bad about not writing anything all weekend until I resigned myself over to the fact that our show opening is in five days. I’ve taken stock of what I’ve written in the last nine weeks while working full time, and it’s probably a good thing to take a break.

TBA:08

Well, I’m sad that TBA:08 says goodbye tonight for another year. I took the plunge with 6 shows, but wish I could have seen more. I think next year I might sneak in a few vacation days. In an effort to sum up, here are my post fest impressions….list style. The Good Awesome Tim Crouch’s England Philippe Quesne’s L’Effet de Serge Mike Daisy’s If You See...
