With all the mentions of Shakespeare here I’ve been remiss in sharing about my older son’s work behind the scenes on Pages Alive Theater‘s production of Much Ado About Nothing.
He was a student director and gained accolades from the head of the program, parents, and actors. His responsibilities demanded a calmness and focus that I don’t see when he’s on stage. He looked very much like he does when he’s competing in jiu-jitsu, moving with intentional, singular focus.
At the cast party he got an award for being an undercover superhero. Cool and unassuming, while tackling grand tasks.
He’s ready to be back on stage. I believe he will carry this seriousness into his next role and I can’t wait to witness the results.
