I got somethin' to say!: Rain, Rain Go Away!!!

Seriously.

This weather is UNACCEPTABLE.

Here it is, May 29th, and not only have we been dealing with a week full of drizzly, gray days - but it is also COLD out!!!

I know this has kind of turned into 'theatre week' on my blog - but there have been a lot of exciting theatre related things going on in my life lately, which brings me to the fact that I COMPLETELY forgot to mention that my beloved [title of show] is getting it's Boston premiere in January of 2010.

Long story short - Paul Daigneault (the founder and Producing Artistic Director of SpeakEasy Stage Company) has been trying to get the rights to [title of show] since it was in its embryonic stages. We're talking back when it was a little-bitty off-Broadway show, WAY before it moved to Broadway.

Well, he knew that I was a major [tos] fan and that I had been in contact with the authors/stars of the show - because I'm a complete theatre dork - so he asked me to put in a good word for him. This was back in March of this year.

Fast forward to the beginning of this month when I find out that SpeakEasy was given the rights (there was at least one other Boston theatre who was trying to get them as well) and according to an email I received from one of the [tos] authors, I was a 'big reason they got it'.

So exciting and totally fun.

Either way, I'm thrilled that it will be seen in Boston..."And I Helped!!!"

VERY EXCITING!!!

As I was typing up this entry, I got an email from my softball coach and team manager letting me know that I was selected as one of the team all-stars for the BSL All Star game on June 8th!!!

I'm truly honored and very happy to have been chosen.

This year they're playing the all-star game on the Boston Common on Monday night, June 8th as a kick-off event for Boston's Gay Pride week, so it should draw a large crowd and be a gay old time!!!
