Wild Week #2

Well, here’s another wild week in the past, though this one was less insane than last week. Things should slow down considerably over the course of the next week, and I’ll make more entries, perhaps even get back into a groove.

This one started with the insanity of last weekend close in the rearview mirror. We’re going through a computer transition, so that doesn’t help anything – except that everything is faster on the new one. Finally got the new one basically running, though setup remains incomplete (we can’t print, for example).

Work was fine. And so was performance.

That’s right, I was right in it again, out on stage, this time for Body Talk: Women talk about their lives, a new production produced by our university’s Women’s Center. Smaller cast, more informal. I can’t say more fun – both this one and the Vagina Monologues were fun – but different. I was gone pretty much all day Wednesday through Friday, coming home only to sleep and perhaps eat a bit and wash up. The rest of the time, I was at work, at rehearsal, or performing.

It was a fine time, and a successful show. We had a question and answer period after each show, and it was clear that the audience felt they got their money’s worth, that they felt empowered and informed. Their horizons had expanded.

It was wonderful, again, to be in women’s space, to be working with so many other wonderful, fascinating women – to share their lives. I’m so very glad I did it. But I’m glad it’s over, too. I’m ready to spend more time with my family, more time writing, more time exploring life at home.

And next year, I’ll be glad to do it all over again!
