A Semester that Flew and The Tempest

It occurred to me while writing up feedback for final project rough drafts last weekend (yes, over the Easter weekend holiday) that the semester is almost over.  I kid you not, in all 3 school systems for which I work, finals end on 5/9 or 5/10.  That’s only two weeks and a couple days away, and that is giving me a little temporal whiplash.  This semester really flew by!  It’s been busy and crazy and interesting, and the production specialist job has kept me on my toes.  There has been far less driving this semester and far more shifting/juggling of pig iron weights, soft goods, set pieces, and lighting equipment (you theatre people out there know what I mean).

Anyhow, since I have been sorely neglecting this website, I figured I’d throw in one token shout-out for a play here at Lee (since I missed the truly staggering number of other events that have flown by with the semester).  The Tempest has one more weekend of performances, and it is a creative and interesting take on Shakespeare’s fourth-shortest play:

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, this may be exactly what you’re looking for, especially if you need a break from studying and/or grading.  I might even see you there ^_^ – E.G.D.
