Change of Season

Here we are in the middle of September! How did that happen. I have been M.I.A. on the blog circuit for the last few weeks as the school year starts my "day" job has me running around like a crazy person. And so does the new theatre season! There is so much happening and opening here in town over these first few weeks of September.

Here's a list of some things playing right now (or this week) and opening the 2010/2011 season for us.

Let the games begin:

The Real Inspector Hound: Publick Theatre
Running through September 25, Plaza Theatre BCA

Cabaret: American Repertory Theatre
Running through October 29, Club Oberon

Boston Marriage: New Repertory Theatre

In the Next Room (or The Vibrator Play): Speakeasy Stage

This list clearly runs the gamut and it's exciting to see so much different kinds of work happening at the same time. I've already crossed two off my list - how about you?

State of Being

So a few things you should know about me:

- I love fashion, shopping, and getting a good deal
- I consume far too much fried food
- I consume even more macaroni & cheese
- I regularly run around town working at least 3 jobs (currently, Company One, Tufts University and Stage Managing)

With those things said, I present you with the daily state of being of Mary-Liz Murray.

Word of the day (oh and I'm a word fiend) - Sedulous

Loving going to work in a pair of paint covered jeans to work in a frigid theatre on tech notes at 10am. Company One's The Good Negro opens FRIDAY at the BCA check it out. I just started a rehearsal Stage Managing gig with Shakespeare Now! I'm SMing their touring production of Romeo and Juliet. Just from yesterday's rehearsal I can tell it's going to be a really fun cast and a fast paced rehearsal process. Who doesn't love a 50-minute version of Shakespeare's greatest love story? Lusting after a pair of epic Chanel sunglasses. For some reason I always find myself wanting sunglasses more during the winter than in the summer. It's either snow-glare induced or a wish for a reminder of warmer weather. After not eating all day my fried chicken dinner is AMAZING...it would be better however if accompanied by Mac & Cheese. I guess I can't have it all.
