Beauty and the Beast: Production Week Has Begun!

SC Performing Arts Center
Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center (ESCAPE)

See that theater? It’s empty at the moment but come Friday, it will be filled with ticket holders!

The Boy is doing a promo for a radio show today at 11:30 a.m.! Hopefully he’ll get to sing a little bit as Lumiere. I am going to attempt to listen live. We’ll see how that goes.

Tonight is a long night in the theater but everyone is looking forward to the show. If you don’t see me around here too much this week, this is why. Between work and working backstage, time will be limited but I will try to pop-in to say “Hi!”

Beauty and the Beast 2013
As a mom I worry about all sorts of stuff but hopefully this week will go smoothly and The Girl won’t break her leg for real at her roller skating field trip this Wednesday. Cross your fingers! She narrowly escaped an eye injury when a kite clipped her in the eye right before headshots. She is an injury magnet so if you could think good thoughts for both of them this week, I’d appreciate it.

The Sunday Salon: Happy Father’s Day!

Sunday Salon

It’s Sunday, it’s Father’s Day and it’s the beginning of production week for Beauty and the Beast. It’s a very busy week so today, we are celebrating at home. A little bit of reading, lots of movie watching and later I plan to grill-up some tri-tip for dinner.

The Hub is not a fan of picture-taking, so I am sneaking this pic in from a couple of years back.  Happy Father’s Day!

What am I reading?

I am reading Big Brother by Lionel Shriver. I am also about to start The Slippage by Ben Greenman.

What am I cooking?

Later I am grilling up a bunch of yumminess: tri-tip, chicken breast, hot links, corn and then whipping up some garlic mashed potatoes and chocolate cake!

What am I watching?

I just finished watching We Bought a Zoo. What a wonderful movie. Now, I want to read the book. I think later we’ll watch Mr. Mom (yep, from the 80’s!) or Dream House with Daniel Craig. Yesterday, we saw Man of Steel and it was pretty good.

What are you doing today?

Chatting with friends about books and life…
