just saying...I'm just directing a musical...

This is my first time blogging...so I thought it may be kind of fun to follow my adventures down the yellow brick road.
This summer I will be directing a youth community theater production of The Wiz.  To give you a little background info...this particular little group of traveling misfits (and I say that with the utmost love and respect) have been together for about 4 years.... We've been through the Gospel, The 50's  and good old reliable crap games together!
Our little group has its work cut out for us (a phrase I never knew was negative...just saying) this year. First of all....all our options for a venue (mostly school auditoriums) were nixed for one reason or another. But after months of wheeling, dealing, calling in favors and some praying, we finally have a stage to perform on....we have a home...HOME  ...a song from The Wiz, ironically enough.  When I think of home...I think of a place with love overflowing....I love that phrase...I love that song !
So...we have had some very productive meetings with some very clever ideas from my very enthusiastic, very young directorate...and away we go ~
On to auditions....God help us ....stay tuned theater fans... I'm just saying ...
