SPEED WRITING FOR DUMMIES
« on: June 26, 2021, 12:02:04 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes had speed and writing and a few dummies, and now it is time for you to post until the dummy cows come home.

Today, I'm ushering at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center Main Stage at Sound Puget Sound Community College for Inspired to Move Dance Academy’s 4th Annual Spring Recital, "Dance the Year Away!"  My call time is 4:30 and we're scheduled until 7:30.  I need to wash my shirt and mask, but my pants are clean enough.

The volunteer coordinator sent out an e-mail asking for volunteers because not enough originally signed up, and she specifically emphasized that both venues are air conditioned! ;D

I haven't heard anything about when they'll be able to open up concessions.  Hopefully, that'll happen sooner rather than later.  I'd rather work concessions at the SPSCC space than usher. ::)

It's already too warm, and we too are heading into a heatwave.

I have little to report this morning. I slept rather soundly, and Annabelle stayed with me.  Thatch and Stella behaved.

I'm reading (re-reading?) Christopher Gillett's books. Amusing and candid. I'm wondering at how candid he actually is. Isn't he worried about wanting to continue to work in the opera world? Composer Tan Dun doesn't come off very well.

TOD
My Fair Lady (OBC)
Candide (OBC, 1956)
Kiss Me, Kate (OBC)
Kismet (either OBC or Lincoln Center)
Oklahoma! (1980, Broadway)
Sweeney Todd (OBC)
She Loves Me (OBC)
The Boy Friend (OBC)
Follies (OBC or Papermill)
Show Boat (McGlinn)

ALTERNATES
Brigadoon (Jones/Cassidy or McGlinn)
Camelot (OBC)
On the Town (Bernstein studio cast)
Lady in the Dark (National Theatre of Great Britain)

My favorite recording is the one I am currently listening to, and tomorrow my list might be entirely different. I can only be glad I am on no desert island.

That's two!

Yes, we have our own heat wave coming, probably effective tonight when it will only go down to 70. Then we're in for four days of 90 and 90+ temperatures. That's out here in the sticks, so NYC ought to be a barrel of laughs.

Tomorrow I'm substituting playing a church service, so I must finish preparing for it today.

Fortunately, it's just on piano (I'd have to do some serious work to get back to competently playing an organ, which I haven't done in a few decades), the music for tomorrow is easy, and I'm familiar with their routine.
