Tuesday morning...exhausted. Another long nite ahead of me and then a trip upstate for a dentists appointment and then a trip back to get to work. ugh. Figures the dentist's day off is the same as mine so I have to do this middle of the week thing.

I get to learn how to use a spinning wheel at work this week. I was chatting with the set desinger while we were in the middle of tech yesterday and we were discussing how great theatre is for the learning experiences. Every day we're learning something new and we agreed that the second we stop learning is the when our days in theatre are done. Every subject in life applies to theatre. That's something my advisor taught me in college when I was going thru all my pre-reqs and complaining about how much of a pain in the ass they were. It took me awhile to believe him but now that Ive been working professional theatre for nearly 6 years, it's become so obvious. Every show has it's own time period, it's own subjects, it's own story. This one where I get to learn how to run a spinning wheel is set in Ireland. Im not positive of the time period yet but im imagining it's probably the 1800s. When I sat in history classes I could never learn a thing, but now Ive worked on plays that took place during the revolutionary war, civil war and one that deals with the lost colony. It's an amazing story about the first english settlement that disappeared. America's oldest mystery. Thru these shows I have learned so much and it's made it fun for me.
