I flew from Seattle to San Jose today. Back in Menlo Park, blogging from Borrone’s.

I’ve officially been hired, and I begin my new job tomorrow, as the assistant director for Aaron Davidman on TheatreWorks’s production of GOLDA’S BALCONY, by William Gibson. I’ll be helping Aaron out with whatever he needs, including but not limited to taking notes and the understudy rehearsals.

I’ve read the play a couple of times over the course of this trip. It’s a complicated portrait. Should be quite the journey. This is my first time on a one-woman show. The actress playing Golda is Camille Saviola.

The end of the Seattle stay was great – my meetings with Jen and Chris were wonderful, and made me very excited about coming back to do some theatre in that town.

Last night, Sam, Erica, Kyle, Rob and I made dumplings (their method definitely added some improvements to mine), tofu, stir-fried beef, woodear mushrooms, and bok choi, and (drumroll) crab, boiled alive. Yum.
