Not Sure What To Do With Myself
Saturday night was the closing night gala of Tuesdays With Morrie and since then I haven’t been quite sure what to do with myself. Yes: I get back to being a magician, comedian, and speaker, this weekend… but the last couple of weeks have been so dominated with the play that there are now lots of hours in a day.
Several friends have been asking, “Are you sad it’s over?” And, yes, I am. There is nothing quite like working with other performers and creating something special to share with an audience. So much of the performing that I normally do is solo work. I write by myself, I rehearse by myself, and perform on stage by myself (even when there are other acts on the show). The opportunity to “play” with like-minded (and ridiculously talented) people is a rarity that I will surely miss (and already do).
Fortunately, the memories of the experience will last a very long time… and the skills that I learned and developed will last even longer. Speaking of memories (how’s that for a segue?), there is now an online scrapbook of the show available with pictures, newspaper clippings, and some other “souvenirs” of the event. You can see everything that is online by clicking here.
I look forward to my next venture into acting (whenever the opportunity arises) and am using these few days off to switch gears back to my work as a solo performer.

Oh, and I would like to point out that I achieved my goal of making this week’s blog post “on time”.
