Last Day

Everything is now coming to a close. Booth and I were in meetings all morning to help prepare for bringing a show next year. We got to meet with this year's directors and pick their brains about ideas and problems they encountered.  We also got to see the dorms where students will be staying (hey kiddos, you have it great compared to what we stayed in this year!). So when you arrive next year, no complaints.

We managed to catch the bus and make it to one more great show, Anton's Uncles, presented by Theatre Movement Bazaar (you can check out a video trailer of the show on their website http://www.theatremovementbazaar.org/). It was a great adaptation of Uncle Vanya by Anton Checkov (I was in a production years ago and played the role of Sonya, so it was particularly engaging for me), and the movement, dance, and transitions were fun, engaging, and tremendous to watch. I walked out thoroughly satisfied and inspired yet again. It's been such a great experience--we've seen some fabulous but very different theatre in a short amount of time. Mr. Booth and I both tried to make conscious choices to see things we might not normally get to, and all were really worth it.

The weather held for us--a little cloudy, but no rain! We'll attend a farewell dinner tonight, and then come back to the dorms to pack. We get on our bus at 5:45 in the morning (that's going to hurt), and then catch the flight at 9:30 to head back to the states. This will be our last entry while we're here, so we've included some fun pictures during our stay (notice the pic of the kid--he hopped in while I was taking pictures and felt like a celebrity).

Thanks for following. It's been an invigorating and inspiring experience. We can't wait until next year when the students get to do the same.
