First: I’m wiped out from the past 4 days. The work itself was lovely. But traveling back and forth, having to arrive in Manhattan 3 hours earlier than I needed to be there because of bus schedule changes, killing time for those 3 hours on a very windy day, speed walking to make from the theater to the bus station – all of that took a toll.
And, of course, it’s been a while since I’ve worked in Manhattan, so I’m not used to the pace of walking around the city.
I’m so grateful for the work, an unexpected gift from Darko. And the staff and creatives at the Roundabout Theatre Company are wonderful. It’s a terrific place to work. I got to see and work with old friends – a sound designer, a lighting designer, an actress who I had worked with many times. The young men I coached were wonderful. They were eager to get feedback. So the work part of the trip was extremely satisfying.
We’re having lunch with an old friend of ours today. She is an actress. Don has known her since he was 19. They both worked at the Old Globe. I have coached her many times over the years. She’s been in Maine doing a one-woman show and now she’s on a road trip, visiting all her friends that live out here in the Northeast and Canada. She is the best at keeping in touch with people. We’ll grab a bite to eat with her today and it will be so nice to catch up.
This miniature arrived here on Monday. I found it on eBay. It’s a vintage Morris Chair and it reminds me of our version of that chair and my grandparents’ version of the chair, and I had to bid on it.
It’s handmade. I don’t know who the maker was as there is no signature.
The cushions are leather.
And the back has three positions, just like a real Morris Chair.
It will be in the Beacon Hill. In fact, it’s stashed there right now.
I really love it.
Okay. Time for more coffee.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
