The Future Keeps Its Secrets.

I staged managed a very difficult show just last week.  We opened a new Performing Arts Center in the San Fernando Valley in Northridge, about 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles ~ The Valley Performing Arts Center. Star-studded and black-tied. Calista Flockhart, Benjamin Bratt, Tyne Daly, Davis Gaines, Arturo Sandoval, Dave Koz, Tom Scott, Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright), Doris Roberts, Andy Garcia, Monica Mancini, Carol Vaness, Noah Wiley, Eric Stolz, Jane Kaczmarek, Johnny Mori, Danny Yamamoto and the glorious Keith David. (I'm sure there are more I've forgotten.) Glittery Indeed!

What a week. Long long hours.. little pay.. glorious interaction and communion with long lost colleagues. Exactly what the art needs. Exactly what I needed.

Loved it.  Loved it.

So satisfying to work with professionals and colleagues of one's own caliber. The project would have been impossible if the producer/director/writer had not assembled us all.  Thank-you Robert Egan! Thanks for bringing the best to this crazy process. I can't imagine how much harder this would have been without you at the helm.

So. We did it. Done. Well Done.

On to the next challenge.

And what, pray tell, will that be?

The future keeps its secrets.
