It's Opening Night!

Well, this is it. Opening night. It’s the day my emotions always swing back and forth between “this is what it’s all about!” and “why the fuck did I do this?”

But mostly (this time) I’m very excited. I loved writing this play. It’s usually a good sign when I don’t get to page five and realize there’s no play here. Or I get to page seventy and realize I’ve accidentally written CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF.

I’ve surrounded myself with a great cast, director, and crew. On the one hand, that makes me feel very secure. On the other, it means that if the play fizzles it’s all my fault. If jokes don’t get laughs I can't blame Lester Holt.

We’ve been rehearsing for a month. When rehearsals begin you think a month is an eternity. Then you blink and people are filing in.  But the actors are ready and the air conditioning works. 

So what’s left is just the normal first night jitters. If anyone in a theater production doesn’t have them there’s something wrong. That’s what makes live theatre so great. I’m going to keep telling myself that all day.

Tickets are available for all remaining performances. A few half price tickets are still available for tomorrow.  Come see if I’m really funny. Now through November 6th at the Hudson Guild Theatre in glamorous Hollywood (as OFF Broadway as you can get without being in the ocean). 

Good luck tonight to everyone involved. Love you all.
