The temperature has been staying above the freezing mark for the last few days--it's starting to feel like spring!!! I brought out my North Face jacket and I've been wearing my high-tops instead of heavy duty winter boots. I even wore my sunglasses today! Unfortunately I've been cooped up in rehearsal for most of the day but I still find some time to enjoy the sunshine. Washington Square Park has been crazy crowded the last few days because the weather's been so nice. There's a guy who usually plays a baby grand in the park and he came back out today because the weather was finally nice enough. The irony with all of this is that this week is supposed to be really nice (Tuesday is going to be 57!!) and then spring break it's going to snow. But at least it'll be warm snow, it'll be in the high 30's, low 40's.
Sage Yort is in town visiting for her spring break, she's staying with Jason Vu for a few days, and so Sage and Annalise and I all got together on Friday to hang out and get coffee (Annalise goes to Pace which is about a twenty minute subway ride from NYU). It was really nice to hang out and catch up, and to rehash old PYT stories. It was so weird that all of us were hanging out again in New York City of all places!! And then on Saturday night I went to Jason's apartment because he was having some people over and Sage and Annalise were there (Annalise lives in the building next to Jason) and that was weird--to have all four of us hanging out in NYC. Someone should have taken a picture!
Saturday night I went with a bunch of program people to the show Chris Murrah was directing up at Columbia--he had directed Once On This Island and a bunch of us wanted to go out and support him. Plus, my voice teacher was in it! I knew he was a grad student at Columbia but I'd never seen him perform before. It was such a cool experience. He had a reeeeally long monologue halfway through act two and when I talked to him after the show, he said it was something like ten minutes long. That's insane! The show itself was really weird, it was some obscure new play that I can't even begin to describe. But Chris did a good job, as always, and it was really cool to see Dan perform.
We move into the theater on Tuesday for the show I'm assistant stage managing, and I'm really excited about that. It'll be cool to see the actual set, as opposed to the taped out squares and platforms on the floor. Alex, the other ASM, and I stayed after rehearsal to put stuff away and rip the tape off the floor and I have a newfound respect for whoever did that at PYT. It was fun at first but we had a lot of small pieces of tape to rip up because we had dotted lines denoting the edges of various platforms, so it was a lot of extra work. My fingers hurt now from ripping up the tape.
