My maternal grandfather always got irritated that Christmas decorations and promos started happening before Thanksgiving—he thought that it stole away from the holiday of Thanksgiving, which he really liked.
So it’s two weeks away from Thanksgiving, and I’m already singing Christmas songs! But I can’t help it! I just got cast in Theatre for Young People’s production of I’ll Always Love Christmas, which is a musical review of holiday songs, with a few dance numbers tossed in too. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and I’ve been having a blast in rehearsals! This being the last show that I’m in before leaving Alaska, I’m just so grateful that I get a chance to play and perform with all my friends! Those of you in the local area should not miss the show—others in lands far away will have to settle with pictures when I get some.
Meanwhile, I’m in the second-to-last weekend of Kafka Dances. It has a run of 5 weeks, which is quite long for the Anchorage area, which typically only has 2 to 3 weeks of a show. But we’ve been having supportive (if not always big) audiences, so it has been quite enjoyable. Once you’ve done a show many times, it’s fun to think of ways to keep it fresh—but it can be a challenge too.
So, singing Christmas songs in November… I think my grandfather would forgive me in this case ☺
