After Ashley

It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but after today, we will be done (thank God) with our long days, and open After Ashley on Sunday.

My first show as a professional ASM has gone fairly well. We've been through 4 successful previews. I'll be the first to admit I still have a lot to learn. But, I now know what to expect and what the production staff and cast are expecting from me. All in all I feel like I've come quite a long way. The first day I stepped into Woolly, I felt so paralyzed with fear of not knowing/not remembering what the heck I was supposed to do. But, I've been reintroduced to the wonderful world of production and paperwork, and emerged as a confident ASM. Yay for me.

I'm looking forward to getting the show started and getting back my life. Including the return of college football. Tomorrow, of course, is the OSU v. Texas game. Which, sadly, I will miss. But, I'm planning on watching it as soon as the show lets out. Does anyone remember that Seinfeld where Jerry is watching a taped baseball game and answers the phone, "Don't tell me what happened in the game, I taped it." That will be me Saturday night. So, don't even think about calling me.

Must run, last rehearsal ever! I hope some of you can make it to see After Ashley at Woolly Mammoth. I figure if I'm still laughing at some parts of this show after seeing it 50+ times, you'll probably enjoy it too. Drop me an e-mail if you need help getting tickets!
