The Calm before the storm

New York City is an amazing place! I arrived two days ago and the energy of this city is unlike anything I've ever felt. The show is coming along, Erich has been really supportive and it makes a world of difference to be working with producers you trust. I've been rehearsing with Hal Brooks for the last two days and it has definitely been a learning experience, the technique of working with so many different character transitions. So much work to do in so little time but I wouldn't have it any other way. My wife and I are expecting our first child so that has also been heavy on my mind. The more Vancouver becomes home for me the harder it is to have a temporary home elsewhere. I suppose it all comes with the territory. I have a few days off and on Monday its back to work, although taking days off is hard for me. I always end up doing more work in my off time because unlike a regular 9 to 5 gig this show follows me where ever I go. Before I know it I'm subconsciously rehearsing scenes while I'm on the subway, in the shower or doing dishes. I guess the best thing about New York is that if people catch you talking to yourself on the subway they don't look at you funny. They might even hand you some change.
