What does a three week stretch of theatre in NYC do for my teaching mid-year? Three things. It leaves me inspired, humbled and just a wee bit smarter. I am so fortunate that my number one favorite activity and passion is also directly related to my job! How lucky is that? It is as if I never have worked a day in my life! Overtime I go to New York for the holidays I do always find a few theatre teachers that have snuck away from Florida are using the time to see theatre. How great is that! It does worry me about theatre tearers the go month after month and see no professional theatre. How do the keep the well filled? – Don’t they run dry? Doesn’t it all become academic? I cannot imagine sitting in THOSE classrooms for long.
First day of school – but not really. In just few weeks absence from school it seems like going back to the very beginning. Everyone seems confident to get to the right room at the right time – – but what is going on in that rom seems to be a mystery to everyone, Unfortunately, I got through exactly one half of Death of a Salesman before the break and am now – – three weeks later – – moving right into Act 2. What has died (at least in their memory) must now be resuscitated. The Salesman is not YET dead.
