Jango warned us that we would experience a let down after the workshop is over, and it is true. I am feeling very much alone here in my apartment while My Kid is at school and The Husband is at work. But, thankfully, I have a performance coming up on Monday to keep my mind [...]
My Kid watched the last Clown Axioms show from the booth. She loved it. She was allowed to bring up the lights on a couple of cues and that was a thrill for her. The woman who ran the light and sound board is so nice to have let My Kid sit up there with [...]
Thoughts alone walking to the subway after the show
Published Date: October 11th, 2009Category: life
I was mortified, on the way home, when I realized I had not gone back and hung up my cape properly. I must be a little OCD because I thought about it all the way home. I had gone straight from the stage to the upstairs dressing room where the props are kept, [...]
Watching the clock… How much can I get done before I have to leave? I have two and a half hours before I have to leave for the theatre. My Kid has Robotics after school today and The Husband is planning to leave work early to pick her up, so I don’t have to leave [...]
Finally after such a long time I feel happy and relieved after rehearsal.
The day in the studio went well. Kendall told us that even though the show isn’t put together we have all the parts and some good material. She also said she is aware that some people have reactions to her in a position [...]

Maybe that’s why Kendall is always telling me I look confused.
Maybe that’s [...]
Oh that is such a funny Fruedian slip type-o that I’m going to leave it up! I meant to type: “switching gears”!
I’m home from rehearsal and I’m tired, wanna put my feet up and relax but not that’s not going to happen. I’m a mom. I gotta go meet The Husband and My Kid in [...]
Women in the Workplace and Female Clowns on Stage
Published Date: September 13th, 2009Category: life
A commentator on the radio said that the financial meltdown probably would not have happened if there were more women in high places in the world of finance because women tend to be more adverse to risk than men. The males took on too much risk. Their actions would have been tempered if there had [...]

managed to get some laughs during an improv.
improv exercise to do a gory fairy tale death
I’m not the only one who has trouble. One woman acted out a nursery rhyme when the assignment was to act out a fairy tale. Buzzzzzzz. Wrong.
Kendall wanted people to talk about process after, I did but then I felt [...]
Tomorrow is the first day of school.
Tomorrow I have rehearsal.
First I made sure I knew what My Kid intends to wear on the First Day of School and that it is something that is clean and exists in the apartment.
Then, I ransacked my closet looking for something for me to wear as a clown in [...]
