Tonight I open another show. For the past 6 weeks I have been directing The King and I for Franklin County Arts Council (Preston, Idaho). We were forced to put the show up on a very truncated time table, but it has turned out quite well. It is a small community in a little theatre, but I think they have come up to a level they haven't seen for a long time. There were many times when I was ready to pull my hair out, but there must be stress to create growth.
Now, for the next few weeks I have to change my focus to getting school ready. I have been focussed on this show so much that I have not gotten ANY curriculum ready for the coming year. I have to teach 3 new classes that I don't have anything prepared for. It will be interresting to see how things pan out. I have some really good resources and a good network of excellent teachers that I can pull from, so not too worried.
