Opening night for The Birds was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better crowd or a better cast. Now we sit and wait and see if anybody else comes. I’m tired.

I’m a bit tired from last nights second preview. I’m drinking my FREE large coffee at work. When you buy Ritazza coffee you get your card Ritazza card punched and when the card is full your next coffee is free. I live for free coffee. The preview went well, but we’re still changing cues and [...]
