TWO DOWN - ONE TO GO!

Wednesday, July 17 - the culmination of all our hard work over the past four months!  "Perfect Mothers" had two fantastic readings.   It was a mad dash of rehearsals - and Nancy Opel was a true champ for jumping in and learning her part so quickly.  She was terrific, and so was the rest of our cast:  Adriane Lenox, Kenita Miller, Jenn Colella, Amy Bodnar.  Their talent and dedication during the days of rehearsal and rewrites inspired me to work harder and better than I thought I could.  It has been a true privilege. 

I got flowers.  They were so beautiful and expensive looking that for a brief moment I got mad at my husband for spending money.  Then I discovered - they were from my mom, dad, brother and sister!  I love them!   The card is from my husband and kids.

After the second show I drove home to New Jersey and celebrated with my family at the diner.  They sell cocktails at our neighborhood diner!  I had a whiskey sour and a grilled cheese.  If that doesn't say "post-show happiness" I don't know what does.








              

Here are Shelley Butler (left, director) and Tina (center, composer) and myself on opening day.  Shelley has been incredible and Tina and I feel so lucky and grateful for all her hard work and amazing insights into our show. 

However, I need a haircut.  I look like Richie Sambora.

One more performance tonight.  Can't wait.
