Let the madness begin!

I will be rather indisposed for the next two weeks as Nutcracker mania has officially begun. Only 13 performances this year, though. :-D Last night's rehearsal was interesting. I'm the understudy for Mrs. Stahlbaum (Clara's mother) and the director had me go in for one of the run-throughs. And it actually went OK. The girl who had to go in for me was...not so good. She's new this year and doesn't quite get the whole "acting" thing that you have to do during the show, in addition to the dancing. Anyway, first show is Friday. Should be good. :-D
