This evening, after I read the e-mail about the Toronto Festival of Clown call for cabaret acts for June, I spent some time looking at the Brick Theatre website and the application for the 2010 New York Clown Theatre Festival, due May 15. I hesitate, because I don’t want do drop the ball regarding My Kid’s education. The festival is in September and the word on the playground is that I have to be really on top of my game as an involved parent from the first day of school or my daughter will not get to visit and apply to the more interesting public middle schools.
