MY CHRISTINA
You would think after being in theatre for over 30 years I would have learned something about directing. The bottom line is, I AM THE ONE THAT NEEDS DIRECTION at all times.
When a friend of mine couldn't direct the current show I am in I decided to take the task on myself. I love the show and felt I knew it well enough to direct and be in at the same time! When rehearsals began on Tuesday I was astounded at how little I did know and that my ideas just weren't going to work.
Well thank God I had the smarts to cast Christina Nelson. She has always been one of my favorite people to work with and a great actress, BUT her knowledge about the show and her vision has been a Godsend. Suddenly the show was going in a different direction, a BETTER direction.
My dear friend I worship the ground you walk on! (I am sure there is dittos from Andie. Although, Miss Andie had some great ideas of her own)
You both have my undying gratitude and love.

WOW! Just what I needed to read at this moment. Thank you for the lovely words but you know how theater is...we're a team and a family. It all just flows from love of the words and the ability to connect with them and have audiences feel the power of those words. Have faith in your vision. We (Andie, you and I *crew too) will make it happen.
