12/14/2006: "Theater"

It begins. Tomorrow night is the start of my 18th show, "The Nutcracker" -- a repeat of my 12th show. I am, once again, Godfather Drosselmeyer. Biggest thing stuck in my head this week? This might sound like an old man rant. Once we start full dress rehearsals, there's a traditional warning about not eating in costume. You'd think that's because of all the kids in the show, but you'd be surprised how many adults need to hear it. But what gets me, instead of the usual, "only water", we were told, "you can only drink water, and only eat crackers and pretzels". What, these kids can't go 3 hours without eating??? Come on, kids, do you want to be paying for diet plans for the next 70 years???
