The extraction was uncomfortable, but not terrible.

Good news, Tom.

I'm up, I'm up - a bit over nine hours of sleep, which I guess I needed. I awoke to news that I've been hired to direct a new musical - it's really kind of a glorified workshop that's not open to the public when it plays its two performances - but it is, in fact, a full production with sets, lighting, costumes, a band, a full Equity paid cast. Kay is choreographing (although there's not much to choreograph at this point) and she recommended me because she knew the other directors they'd talked to and didn't relish working with any of them. It's a really difficult piece because it's VERY dark - not the kind of thing I do, really, but that was what got me the job - because I told them I could only approach the material positively because I think the audience has to feel not relentlessly bombarded with dark. They liked that. They're first time authors, so I can probably be of help in terms of smoothing out the obvious problems. It all happens pretty quickly - casting end of March, rehearsing mid-April opening end of May and, in fact, when it opens I'll already be rehearsing Dial M for Murder - but the schedule works because these rehearsals are days and end at five and the Dial M rehearsals don't start till seven.

Wow. A lot of new information in that post. Congratulations!!

Congrats to TCB, too. Take it easy and enjoy those painkillers the rest of the day.

I leave in about a half hour for my procedure. $:-\$

So, it's time for me to take a shower and get dressed. Pray for Rosemary's baby!

Be back later.

Mickey Rooney speaking in my play, AVA & HER GUYS:

You're right. That quote should be saved for a play about Trump.

The recommended ENT isn't available till next week, but they have several ENTs in that office so I'm seeing one of them tomorrow, unless this clears up completely by then.

I can tell you one thing about the show - one of the writers is the son of Sherman Edwards, the composer/lyricist of 1776, so that's fun.

It's been a long, long, looooong day. I am exhausted. I had a good meeting at 11:99 with Ted Sperling and Peter Foley. whose birthday is today, about this Carnegie Hall concert of Babes in Toyland in April.

Then I headed down to City Center, proofread the last score from the copyist, had a meeting with Joshie and Rob about the state of things, and I just got home. Joshie does not want me around tomorrow - I'd be in the way - as he prints orchestra scores and parts and does other library work. I'll see him on Thursday morning around 9:30 for the baqnd reading.

DR TCB, I am happy the dental work has been taken care of. Are you okay?

bk · « **Reply #82 on:** February 21, 2017, 03:09:25 PM »

Everyone is sick here in LA. So, aside from dealing with my ear thing and my arm thing, I've also been crazily taking all my preventives - Sambucol, Airborne, Cold-eez, Claritin D. Of course, before the Kritzerland shows I always feel like I'm getting something, so it's mostly in my head.

bk · « **Reply #83 on:** February 21, 2017, 03:11:53 PM »

I'm staying put today - no packages to pick up anyway.

bk · « **Reply #84 on:** February 21, 2017, 03:13:20 PM »

Mostly dealing with this new project - we solidified my deal, so that's done. And I'm trying to have some conversations with the creative team, all of whom were brought on when there was the other director. I inherit them, but I'm sure that will be fine - just want to get everyone on the same page.
