A Sad Moment

Headsman's Holiday, the show I have been assisiting on, previewed this evening. I leave tommorrow for Berkely Springs, WV, where I am designing Steel Magnolias, and after that, the season is basically over. Magnolias will be the eighteenth show I have done since September, and while having the work has been great, I am ready for a bit of a break.

The preview tonight also signaled if not the end, then a great reduction in the working relationship I have had with the lighting designer I have been assisting for most of this season. We are not going seperate ways because of a desire to, but because my fellowship at the Kennedy Center has been picking up the tab, and that fellowship is now at it's end.

I am saddened that I will not be as available as I was before. I have really enjoyed working with this other designer. He has been a good colleague, and more importantly, a good friend.
