A couple days ago, I was told by someone that every time they watch my work in rehearsal, it's like being in a class. I've decided that may be the greatest compliment I've ever been given for said work, and further validates the approach I've elected to take. Thank you.
(addendum: which is interesting since I seem to have a perpetual headache while doing this show...which I mentioned to the maternal unit and was told to get blood pressure checked...and then reminded that it runs in the family...at which point I asked momunit to stop rubbing it in.)
