I started a post about an hour ago, but got sidetracked and lost it.
DR/Dear Brother Jay has gotten a job! It is, I believe, a newly created position with the Jewish Volunteer Services of LA. They are starting a Career Placement division, and Jay will be heading it.
Unfortunately, I am sketchy on the details, as he left me a message before heading off on his "last hurrah" this past week, and our parents weren't terribly well-versed in the details either.
Happy news indeed! (A DR George/SWEENEY TODD reference)
IN the meanwhile, we saw our final Stars of Tomorrrow shows of the year (a BIRDIE and a MAME) over the weekend. Now I just have to finish writing some of my adjudications. We also got to see the tour of CHICAGO, featuring -- ready for this, DR Jennifer? -- Paige Davis. She acquitted herself well, though she did not leap into the pantheon of favorite Roxies. (I have seen this production, in NY and on tour, far more than I care to admit!) The Velma, however, was a Canadienne named Terra MacLeod, and she was sensational! Carol Woods blew the roof off the house as Mama Morton. The Billy was only so-so.
That's what's going on.
