For me it has been a seasonal thing--and I don't mean the four seasons of the year; I mean there are seasons of my life where theatre fits, and seasons where it doesn't. But I always eventually return. :)<br /><br />I want free pie.C.

Then the primary theater she worked with went semi-pro which ended it for her, plus her new life as a teacher raising two kids took all of her time. She also wistfully goes to plays, missing the excitement of backstage.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928778874657387483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522929750944577069.post-88578463640356118892010-01-24T11:42:35.871-06:002010-01-24T11:42:35.871-06:00I guess one of the basic truths of "theatre&q...I guess one of the basic truths of "theatre", is that it is populated by divas, drama queens, and the slightly (or the not- so-slightly) insane. (I'm the only sane, rational actor I've ever known.... LOL!) Theatre-folk can make for wonderful shows and creativity, but you are absolutely correct....the backstage drama can be overwhelming. Still, I love being on stage, I love directing a production, aw heck, I just flat out love being inside a theater! And right now I'm not doing any of it.Mellodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515414035373189099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522929750944577069.post-12953343401591848172010-01-24T06:24:36.662-06:002010-01-24T06:24:36.662-06:00I so wish we had a place around here that celebrat...I so wish we had a place around here that celebrated Pie Day as much as I wanted to celebrate Pie Day! And you both made great pie selections! Yum!<br /><br />The hairspray chic- WOW! Unbelievable! I can usually come up with an "other side" for most any situation as a means for helping me be more understanding or accepting of a person's behavior but... nope, can't come up with a good reason for that one. Chalk it up to mental illness, I guess.<br /><br />I just grabbed my wreath off the front door yesterday- had to hang it on a coat hook inside. hopefully I actually get it put away today!<br /><br />Ah, theatre... one thing I will say about Indy is that there is a strong and vibrant community theatre community! It's how my husband and I met, it's how I might my best friend. And Jeff and I really thought we'd miss it when we took our sabbatical for having children. But the itch hasn't returned. My best friend is still very involved and I hear her stories and I realize that while I love the process, the product, and I am still passionate about the work... I do not miss, at all, the backstage DRAMA.Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.com
