sigh...
I miss my mature actors. They all graduated and now I'm left with Stebens children who think acting is playing. It is really making me start to rethink directing plays. It would be so much easier to just teach English - I could go home after school, see my husband, cook dinner, have a life. It seems like they don't listen or care most of the time. I have to shout to get them to do anything and heaven forbid I ask them to actually act. ...sigh... I guess I'm just in a bad mood because I'm tired, we'll see...

I LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR STEBENS CHILDREN ACTORS! I THINK YOU ARE AMAZING!
ps i adore drake. i'm learning so much. i officially switched to tech and design (small parade) but i'm so glad i'm in Deena's acting class because I AM LEARNING SO MUCH!
i miss you and MCHS, it is sad. i miss acting and being in shows all the time! i'm running lights on the STRAND GSX (woooo) for the show that opens on thursday - it's kind of crazy. i am at FAC all the time and i love it. we stayed until 1 am to paint last night. it was awesome.
i really want to come see pride and prejudice. it makes me (and it's ridiculous, i know) a little sad that you're having rehearsal without me. i kind of miss hauling desks around after school.
so, the cohesiveness of the thoughts in this message are declining, i know....
anyway. remember at our last show when you said we had made you remember why you wanted to direct students? well, remember that. and hold out for it. what you're doing is important! and special! and i think you're pretty amazing for doing it!
oh and, by the way, we miss you too.
love love love!
I think you are the bestest! I know it's not an actual word, but I know the part of speech. Adjective. So I can use it. You said so.
Laura doesn't lie, Drake is awesome. I'm not in Deena's acting class, but storytime with Clive makes me remember how much I appreciate the time I spent with the MCHS Drama Club and you. Because I actually learned things under your direction, instead of hearing stories about how Clive put on a musical in a convent once.
Students are impossible, it's part of what we do. I mean, God, you had to deal with me. If you can survive that, you can survive anything. If I'm not in tech rehearsals for the musical I'm most certainly coming back to see your show.
Ah, I miss you! But she already said we miss you, which probably was supposed to include me.
love love love!
ps when i said remember that, i wasn't referring to this show. directly. i was more referring to like, later on. it's like "don't quit yet!"
i'm not saying remember why you wanted to direct us and suck it up. that'd be mean. i'm saying, remember the way you felt when we had all achieved something together and that feeling was why you wanted to direct us. i'm saying that'll happen again.
ps ps there are drunk people below my window.
mmm. mike's comment is both more coherent and more correctly punctuated, capitalized, etc, than mine.
i thought of something else.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME!
I APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR DEGR--I MEAN, WISDOM.
Starting a show is always more work than fun. Well, almost always.
I miss Theatre. I miss dedicating myself to something meaningful under your guiding hand. It was meaningful, it is making a difference and hopefully this next generation will understand what that means.
Props to you for pulling off Pride & Prejudice, I should be able to come see it. I wish I could have done that play... but I liked Ballyhoo, so no regrets there.
