Adam’s all gaga over his baby he wasn’t there. Well I wasn’t there either. But, we checked the box office at “Humor Abuse” to see if there were tickets. (Tonight’s show was sold out but we have tickets for tomorrow night.) We got to see lots of clowns I know in front of the theatre. [...]

Last minute things to do Buy tapes for the video camera and batteries for toys… Sparking wine for the Christmas morning mimosas… Charge the camera and video camera batteries… Water the tree… Plan tomorrow mornings food shopping trip–gonna brave the crowds… Is this room cold or has the blood from my fingers gone to my [...]

I just got out of the shower, my second today. I didn’t get to the gym, but I allowed myself a nice hot mid-day shower because I am trying to get a handle on all this free-floating holiday stress. As a class parent I am way too anxious about the amount of money we have [...]

The Girls Night Out mommy party I went to last night was a big deal.  It took over two weeks of e-mails to get a group of mothers who were hungry for a more conversation than the hi/bye of school pick-up and drop-off to get together with food and wine but without the spouses and [...]

I’m home and in bed now.  The Husband and My Kid are both sound asleep.  It was such a fun GNO with the other mommies from My Kid’s school.  I hope I don’t have any trouble getting up in the morning to get to rehearsal on time–And My Kid has a soccer game… There was [...]

That is the question of the current project I’m involved in. A call went put out for actors with children to work on a piece for the Six Figures Theatre Artists of Tomorrow Festival. I signed on with My Kid, even though she has no intention of performing. The director is pregnant and has a [...]

Yesterday I received an e-mail, forwarded to me by Kendall Cornell.  The Women’s Theatre project was papering their Off-Broadway house for a play about a clown.  So I went.  It was a much nicer theater than the ones I usually get to play.  The stage was large and the grid was jam-packed with lighting instruments. [...]

Tonight nothing is more important than electing Barack Obama president in November. However, My current task is to present a clown piece on September 11 (leaving plenty of time before November to work for Barack Obama.) My head now is filled with the momentous Obama speech… “In the words of scripture hold firmly to the [...]

I was anxious to get to the theatre.  I was running late because I had to wait for someone to show up to watch My Kid.  The dressing area was hot and crowded.  My parents were on hand for this important performance.  We thought we had time to grab something to eat before the performance. [...]
