Mother Antonia: Phone call with Anya to hear her thoughts & questions. A foray into the CSJ’s digital archive to try to get a better handle on the limits on where and when the Sisters could leave the house; the Sister at the reading last night pointed out that the community tended to be pretty...
and again, go team!
It’s All Good: The quest for a stage manager continues (as does the quest for a title). Lisa Conley will design costumes & Sadie Ward will coordinate set – this is great news. Mother Antonia: Next reading tomorrow night. Director Anya Kremenetsky will be with us.

Erika: Watched a video on optimization. It’s All Good: Worked on rehearsal schedule.
reprieve
It’s All Good: Had a thought about a way to connect Lord of the Flies, the character’s personal situation, and current events. We’ll see if it works. The Last Game: The grant I thought was due Thursday is actually due Monday, making it much more realistic that I can have a new draft of this...
