Yet another of those strokes of "luck" that put me in the catbird seat with a stellar cast and a show that just needed a little nudge to be great. This was the year i was asked to take over for my dept head so he could have cardiac surgery. I walked into the first rehearsal promising these poor actors I'd not reinvent the wheel because not only had the show been blocked, they were almost offbook. I quickly learned never to make promises like that. I rearranged the set, re-blocked the show, and spent the next month apologizing to them for making the promise to begin with. But to a person, they stepped up and made this a show I was very proud to have been part of.
