So here I am at the close of my first performance here in Oliver, BC
Oliver is, according to the signage here, the wine capital of Canada, a title I can't say I knew was there to be claimed. It's also on the edge of Canada's only desert, another title I can't say I knew was there to be claimed. I have to admit I subscribed to the rather unfair generalization that Canada as a general rule meant mountains, trees, and snow.
My apologies, nation of Canada, you have variety.
Here in Oliver, I'm putting together what may be the best show we've done to date, due in part to the over 30 high school students in the cast. Not only do they do excellent work themselves, but they provide excellent examples and leadership for the rest of the cast. My job was easy this week.
We also did no fewer than 8 workshops. In the average week, we do 3. That's a little extra cash in our pockets, but wow is it exhausting.
Saturday Addendum
Today I have to cross the border to buy tire chains. Because the airlines are jerks, I got a surprise rearrangement of my flight details. I now will be leaving immediately after tonight's performance. This is a pain in the neck, to say the very least. I will driving through the night, through the snow, to arrive in Seattle on time for my flight.
I'm not predicting disaster, just annoyance.
Next week it's back for Thanksgiving. I shall put gravy on everything.
