Yes, yes. This is my life now. I think that in the future I am going to refrain from directing shows when such a large is involved. It’s not that the cast isn’t talented. It’s not that they don’t do what I tell them to. It’s just hard to keep that many people focused and on task for a couple of hours each night. Rehearsals, to me at this point, really feel like barely controlled chaos. I go home and worry that things will never come together. I worry that we will run out of time. I worry that the show is gonna suck some major ass on opening night. Then I think about some of the shows that I have been in that have come together at the last minute. That leads me to believe that this one’s gonna be just fine. And, hey … if it does blow, it won’t be the first show in the history of theater that really sucks.
