Tonight my director friend and I are having our monthly dinner meeting. I say monthly, but this is the first one since last July. Since then we've done three consecutive shows together. The paradox is that once we're into the routine of a show, we literally are unable to find time to talk, except in brief spurts at a rehearsal or performance. This should be enjoyable, more as an opportunity to decompress from those shows and catch up on all manner of things, than to strategize over future shows. Our corner of the world is in too great an upheaval for us to be making a lot of plans.
