It appears I'm going to be producing a commedia dell'arte play.
Commedia dell'Arte Day is on Feb. 25th so, I decided I should put up some of that money I've hoarded away to pay for a show. The only real expense is the costumes, and if I play the inamorata I can use my own clothes (I have an Avon Jupon gown that is suitable.) It's going to probably require a visit to that awful costume shop I used to work for, to see about renting the other outfits, sadly. I called to inquire about their current hours and that horrible fellow who was ultimately the reason I left, still works there. I hope I won't have to see him, but unfortunately it's probable I shall.
Anyway, at this point I still need to try to find a cast, which tends to be the place where my theater and film projects fall apart most often. Costumes are step two, let's hope the damned costume shop doesn't give me a heart attack with their awful suggestions.
It also looks like my parents and I are going to be heading up to Denver this weekend to finally see the King Tut exhibit there. I think it's the last weekend it's even up. The tickets were bloody expensive -- supposedly they cost $25 each but were really more like $35 each once all these hidden fees were put on them. (I couldn't believe it, there was even a 'printing ticket at home fee.') Hope it'll be worth it.
And it looks like Marriage of Figaro is the next Beaumarchais play I'll be translating.

How long will it be before there's a "not coming to the exhibit fee" ?
That one could be quite the source of revenue.
