A Golden Wedding

The 'Zilla has just returned from Ashland Oregon and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Three days with 23 high school students. The only really hard thing was the most ear splitting laugh ever heard. It even made the actor's of The Importance of Being Earnest break character. As one of the student's said, "it sounds like a duck caught in the blades of a dull woodchipper." Zilla has then had to listen to the dead-on impressions of it. He still laughs at them. We'll see how long his humor will hold.

Besides Earnest, the group also saw The Winter's Tale, Intimate Apperal, and The Diary of Anne Frank. All of them well done. However, the Zilla has a few issues with the staging of Anne Frank, being that he has had the honor of directing the play twice. IA is a fantastic play with great common themes and, frankly, WT is a snoozefest.

Zilla is in the midst of Tempest rehearsals. It goes on weekend after next. It should be good and the Zilla only has to come up with a set. It will be simple and work. That's all that can be asked of him.

The job search conitinues . . . It makes the Zilla nervous and in want of Diet Shasta.
