09-18-21 Auditions and Bucks
I did not wake up too early, got a good long sleep after being up to the wee hours. I am definitely feeling shaky but got myself ready, and headed to the theatre for auditions for the next two shows. I am producing one of them and was the only producer available. It went very smooth, took 3 hours to audition 5 guys. It was amazing to see the two directors begin to draw things out of the gentlemen. I shed a few tears watching. The two shows in first half of 2022 are The Aliens which is very gritty and Tuesdays with Morrie, a well known story. I really feel solid that Duncan and Stephanie are going to do well. The Fisks dropped off a piano to use and I borrowed a guitar from Retro Music across the street. As it happened not a one of the auditions played the piano and only one played guitar and he had brought his own. It was a blessing to spend an afternoon watching people express themselves and be vulnerable. Our theatre is in good hands. I left the theatre to go to my office to scan and upload all the information and pictures as well as get ready for my mystery shops tomorrow. From there I popped home for a FaceTime with a dear friend. His parents have both been diagnosed with Cancer and they do not live near. My heart hurts for him. I hope to get to see him in a month though so that is a positive. Next was off to a HOCKEY GAME! The season ticket holders for the Cranbrook Bucks were invited to come to two inter squad games, one of which is tonight. Deanne walked down with the three younger boys and Ash met us there. It was a pretty tight game and it is sad to know half of them will likely be cut. I just felt calm to be there again, like something normal was happening again. I drove Deanne and the boys home and realized I had to take my kayak off as I am going to Elkford tomorrow. I have never done it alone and I managed with little problem. Didn’t even touch the car or the ground, leveled up!!! Pretty great day even with the sadness.
