I may not be awake yet. I miss having time here. This is my one free hour today. AMmo's play opens tomorrow, and I managed to get very involved in with the extra stuff helping the directors. Spent all weekend writing little bios on 50 kids while another mom printed off digital pictures and we're making a big lobby board- just like REAL THEATRE! The kids are so excited. It's taken a LOT longer than we thought though because being moms we are now painting it and decorating it and it has to be PERFECT. ANd it takes time to make a bio out of an "interview" that went like this one with a reticent teenage boy working special effects: Me: What year are you- Alex: Junior Me: What other shows have you worked on? A: none Me: OH-,so were you interested in theatre before and just decided to try it? A: no Me: Well- um-What else do you do? A: Nothing Me- (with increasing desperation): Do you have any hobbies? A: no me: clubs? church groups? family activities? A: naw. Me: Well, damn it you must do SOMETHING! Long pause. A: I breathe, I eat. It all takes time. All said with that teenage, bored, why are you putting me through this, it's all so stupid, attitude. So I wrote: This is Alex's first show. He says he spends time breathing, eating and sometimes doing special effects. I'm sure his mother will be pissed. ("She could have called ME for the information! I could have told her how wonderful he is") In his picture I notice he is wearing a t-shirt that says CAFFEINE on the front. I don't THINK so. VALIUM, maybe, or LITHIUM..... ALthough his was easier to write than the girls who tell you EVERYTHING they ever did- every dance lesson, voice lesson, role, goal. I had to condense it and you just watch-they'll probably be upset because I left out a church solo in the 6th grade. Someone rudely pointed out that Ammo's bio was longer than everyone else's. Oh really? I hadn't noticed. So tell your mother to do this next time, you whiny brat. Besides, I thought it was important people know when he got his first tooth.
