Sitting at home...

jaceyI'm actually enjoyaing sitting at home...
In previous years, touring with Artisan, today would have been the first day of an intensive Christmas show run. We always started on the first full weekend after Number One Daughter's birthday, ensuring we were always at home for her, and that we never let the shows get too early. (Though in truth November is a bit early and we always breathed easier once we hit December.)
I just put a Christmas Show page up on the Artisan web site, but here's a pic from the last show.
The Christmas show run was bloody hard work. We once did 28 shows in 27 days - including 2 matinees and one night off. At the beginning of the run I always wondered how I'd get through it and at the end of the run I was always sorry it was over.
More pics here .
We started out by including some Christmas carols in with our normal show but it evolved and evolved until I was writing terrible punny pantomimes to go with the song sets. This one just goes to prove I'll do anything (almost) if I'm being paid.
I
I'll even impersonate aeroplanes, (or is that a very bad Maria impersonation from Sound of Music?)
But they seem to enjoy it and that's what counts. (The empty seat belongs to the photographer.)
