For the 5th year, we dedicate our December to the entertainment of others.
This year is a little different. #2 is in a role that is triple cast, instead of double cast, so she has less performances. In addition, they have reduced the number of performances overall. As a result, there are actually a couple of free weekends (except, of course, for being on call), and we may be able to plan something.

Rehearsals (only once or twice a week for an hour) have begun, but all too soon performances will be in full swing, the Christmas decorations will be up, and velvet-clad little girls will sit, rapt, watching my little girl.
