Not everyone at Geordie had such a fine break though.
Dean Patrick Fleming (when he wasn’t off moving into a new house) was busy rehearsing Harry Standjofski’s Story Wars, which I will have the honour of delivering to over 120 elementary schools this coming season.
Meanwhile, Anne Clark (until she took a break to plan and execute her daughter’s wedding at their family cottage) and our new Technical Director worked hard to make sure both sets, for Story Wars and for our high school touring show, got built on time, on budget, and on spec so that I’d be able to comfortably carry them around with me for 8 months.
And no doubt the two tour actors and their stage manager were looking up things to do in Baie Comeau, Chibougamou, or some of the other remote Quebec towns we’ll be traveling to this fall. None of this is new to me though; taking Geordie out on tour has run in my family for 30 years now!
So I just sat in my parking space, took in the sun and abstained from guzzling any gas for 4 months until we’re off and ready to go again.
