Well, there probably won't be much hooping this week because of the play. We opened tonight with Once A Catholic in Leamington Spa. I'm doing the duel roll of stage managing the production whilst also being in it. Not easy and has caused me a few sleepless nights. As far as I know no one has ever tried to do it before at this theatre. But I'm head of stage management and couldn't find anyone to work on the show so ended up having to do it even though I was cast already.

We had long since ceased to find it funny but happily the audience seemed to find lots to laugh at so that set us off to a good start. My husband took the photos for this production at the dress rehearsal on Sunday and captured me on the stage managers desk in my nun's costume with headphones on. I like this multi-tasking photo. I tried to take a hoop with me on Sunday because I wanted him to take a photo of a hooping nun, but we couldn't get one in the car owing to having the seats folded flat to transport a garden bench. Shame. I feel that would have been a funny photo.
