What's In a Name, The Many Deaths of Tyler and Summer Lovin'

Wow! I'm getting comments on my posts! That's so exciting!! Except now I have to try to be interesting so you guys will keep reading it... Hmm..
So the Danbury group has gotten it's official start, we've been meeting at the Brookfield Library on Thursdays. We're going to have to pick a name for our Danbury group so I can stop calling them "The Northerners" or "The Danbury Group".
Shelton is getting down to the wire- we have a month and a half left until "Dream" and "Romeo and Juliet" go up. Today, myself, Kathy and some actor buddies of mine performed the lovers scene in "Dream" for everyone and had a LOT of fun. We did character homework as well- everyone wrote the story of their characters. Let me tell you- there are some ACTIVE imaginations in this group! I was completely blown away by the enthusiasm and creativity that came through!! Oh and Miss Hermia made me cupcakes for my birthday and I was given some really nice birthday cards. Thanks, guys!
Oxford's project is coming along nicely- it's very funny. Tyler is trying to figure out why I keep killing him in all the shows we do together.. I don't THINK I do it on purpose... =)
Next on the horizon is the project Kathy and I have been dying to put into the works, a Complete works of Shakespeare, abridged. 37 plays in under an hour. Our goal is to make it educational but fun and provide the audience a "Crash course" in Shakespeare.
And we've got to start planning for the Summer program, the library wants us to put on a production in September. We haven't done a summer show before!
Sooo many opportunities to try new things this year! I hope we're up for it!!
TTFN-
