Indiana, Pennsylvania?

Well, yesterday we survived our first really long day of bus travel.  After 11 hours we arrived in Indiana, Pennsylvania.  The bus drive wasn't really all that bad especially since we didn't have to do a show.  Tonight we performed to a near capacity crowd at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.  I still can't get used to the sound of that.  We did have the orphanage tonight after several nights in a row without having it.  Still no stairs.  The show went well for the most part and the audience enjoyed it.

The best part of the evening for me was getting to do a Q&A with a group of high school students who will be presenting "Annie" at their school in the spring.  I met with them for about 40 minutes and had a great time answering questions and doing a couple of "Acting Exercises" with them.  Doing these things alway energizes me and makes that night a little more special.

I remember now how hard it is too fill your days in these little towns.  There was very little to do here and I can only watch so much day time TV and can only shop in WalMart so many times a week.  Ah well, a small price to pay to be able to "live the dream.
