Raining Thoughts

Things I am being reminded of after three days in Waco:

1. Hot. Hot. Texas is hot.
2. Stevie time. He says we'll start at eleven, he means be ready by 12:30.
3. Actors are slobs. All of them. Slobs.
4. Everything in this theatre is ghetto rigged.
5. It is really easy to slip into a Southern drawl when you're not paying attention.
6. I know theatre. Not as much as I could, but enough to teach actors about status struggles and blocking strategies.
7. I am no longer the whitest member of the company. His name is. . .well, I can't remember his name right now, but he's 14 and has no clue.
8. The best seat while watching a play is right between Stevie and Ramad, especially when Ramad is irritated at Stevie. That happens a lot. We seem to love him anyway.
9. A lot changes in a year.
10. Not a lot changes in a year.
11. The sound of rain is far more beautiful than any song to come from man or woman.

Until next time, listen, dear ones.
