Family Time

Sometimes family isn't people related to you by blood, but people who come into your life and make you feel at home, safe and happy.

And it's rare that this happens in a show setting, as odd as that sounds. There are always egos and personalities, quirks and quibbles that keep you merely work-mates.

But on those rare occasions where cast and crew comes together as an improptu family, it's imperative to celebrate, and appreciate.

To that end, the cast of Honor and the River decided to have a potluck dinner inbetween shows yesterday. We sat around the "table", (actually the boat flipped over and used as a table, just like we do in the show itself) ate delicious food and had wonderful, familial conversation.

I will be very sad to see this one close. I've had a blast with everyone, and it's really nice to come into work and have such a positive, upbeat atmosphere surrounding the whole show.
