Local Theater

"An actor without techies is a naked person standing in the dark trying to emote. A techie without actors is a person with marketable skills."
Mark Leslie

Hoping Ian bites.  Scene in Ross redwoods Saturday evening, waiting for curtain on Porchlight Theater's production of Les Liasiasons Dangereuses.  Ian is the Assistant Stage Manager and his mother is putting her nine years of higher education (BS, MS summa cum laude, JD cum laude) to use as the wardrobe mistress.  It's summer and that means Local Theater which means everyone is extremely busy, if effectively unemployed.
Sigh.
Brigid is deep into MST, coming home every night dipped in black paint, crowing about being hoisted up in a harness to secure and paint this or that.  I pick her up and the cast members are spilling out, singing in the waning light.  It is great.  She wanted to bail on Porchlight, but loved it.
That Local Theater is far better than the drama the neighbors dish out four nights a week.  Their default is loud and that turns to yell in an instant.  Two baffled parents unable to control their teenage daughter, a mean skinny boy-crazed girl hell bent on using her considerable and improving ability to make other family members miserable to maximum effect.
There but for the grace of God go I.
