This week I have been a creative fountain. This is what the wall above my desk looks like -
I have been doing creative sessions (with myself, since I don't have an assistant yet) and coming up with ideas for all of next season's Starry Nights. Yesterday I spent four hours researching Bonnie & Clyde (our opening musical for the 10-11 season) and I learned so much about 1930's Midwest jails and bank robberies it's not even funny. My opinion on Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow is that they were just plain young and stupid. Had to admire their love and infatuation with each other though.
Today I am reading La Bete which is our second production of the 10-11 season. Actually let me restate that. I am PAINFULLY TRYING to stay awake while reading La Bete. This is a comedy that was introduced on Broadway in the early 90's and it failed, but they are reviving it again this fall. It just so happens we are doing it too. I am having difficulty reading this because the play is written completely in iambic pentameter. If I concentrate I can sort of understand what is going on, but most of the time it doesn't make any sense. So far, the only thing I got out of it that will be beneficial to the theme at the Starry Night dinner is that it is set in 17th century France, and well I didn't need to read the script to know that. Perhaps I will save my time and just research 17th century France.
Other news - It looks like yet again, I will not be getting my own office. UGH, why me.
At least I get my own assistant.
