About a week ago my 93 year old Grandmother took a bit of a fall and wound up in a hospital. A few days ago she was moved to a rehabilitation center. It was quite fortunate for the family that I was in the Bay Area to help out with this situation. Plus I got to visit her while she recuperates. Aside from me getting a little less work done than anticipated, all was well and good.
All well and good until yesterday.
It turns out that someone in the rehab center stole her wallet. Now I know that worse things can and do happen to old people, but seriously. What kind of an asshole steals from a bed ridden 93 year old woman! Its this whole current in our culture of preying upon the weak that is truly sick. Old people and children should be protected and safe.
Fuck!

I fly back to New York tonight. My flight gets in around 7am and I should have just enough time to drop my stuff off at home, shower and make a production meeting for The Children. The performance schedule is a little wacky as it is part of a festival, so here it is:
Tue 9/12 @ 8 p.m. PREVIEW
Fri 9/15 @ 8 p.m. SOLD OUT!
Sat 9/16 @ 1 p.m.
Sun 9/17 @ 8 p.m.
Wed 9/20 @ 1 p.m.
Sun 9/24 @ 1 p.m.
I then go right from the production meeting to a run through and tech for a little show at the 78th Street Theatre Lab that I got hired for last minute. The play opens on the 5th. The only person I know on the show is the stage manager, who also stage managed Cupid and Psyche.
The Innovative Theatre Awards ceremony, for which Cupid and Psyche was nominated, is coming up on the 18th. However, I may have to miss it due to lighting a dance concert, but we shall see.
Then at the end of the month I am lighting a Spanish play Twenty Years of Agnes over on 52nd street. Quite busy this month, I must say. And then we just fly right into October . . .
