And I am finally getting to this blog. A week late. Not very optimistic of me, I suppose, if you've been expecting to read about how things are going. Or it could just be me being putting things off. Which is not very optimistic, I know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I have to say after week one of rehearsals, things feel great. I couldn't ask for a nicer and more talented group of actors to work with. As for the director, well....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am kidding of course. Charlie is fantastic, the theatre is fantastic, the stage management is fantastic, the entire crew and front-of-house staff is fantastic. There. Put that in your optimistic pipe and smoke it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week two is upon us and I really hope we don't screw things up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2352382881002591569-3968003379281276465?l=letsbeoptimists.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://letsbeoptimists.blogspot.com/feeds/3968003379281276465/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2352382881002591569&amp;postID=3968003379281276465' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2352382881002591569/posts/default/3968003379281276465'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2352382881002591569/posts/default/3968003379281276465'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://letsbeoptimists.blogspot.com/2008/01/my-first-blogone-week-into-rehearsals.html' title='My first blog...one week into rehearsals'/><author><name>Michael Mancini</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16825291394714676350</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
