Well all right. It's summer vacation. I know that everyone thinks teachers just take the whole summer off - travel, rest, read, garden... whatever. Well, whatever is right. I should be so lucky.
This drama teacher still works. I mean, come on, I'm living in one of the most expensive cities in the country, supporting myself, and my lovely wife, who is a stay-at-home-mom to our three year old son. So I work. I'm a cook. It's all good.
Of course, when I'm not working, I'm "working." I'm planning for my fall show. We're producing Little Shop of Horrors, and I honestly think it will be the most exciting thing this school has seen in a long time. My students are pumped for it, and so am I.
The set design is almost complete- I have to finish an accurate floorplan blueprint before I can "officially" start blocking on paper. I've got it all in my head, pretty much, and I actually can't wait to get started- on paper, I mean. Weird huh? I actaully like the process of planning out blocking.
My choreographer has completed several numbers, and has now left for Europe for the summer - Switzerland, I think.
My puppet designer is fervently working on her designs for the plant. I can't wait to see what she comes up with. Our meetings are alwasy so creative.
And of course, my cast is busily going over every note of their music- I think... I hope... High school kids will do that over the summer, right? Yeah, I know my cast - they rock!
So, there you go. Let's see what else the summer (when teachers don't work) has in strore for me.
