Well, our new light arrived from Rejuvenation tonight and it is lovely. We assembled it with no problems, removed the old fixture and then had a grim reminder than we live in a 1907 house. The old knob and tube wiring is still in the ceiling, minus the insulation. At least on the visible part of the wires. It’s too dark to do further exploration, which will probably mean some plaster coming down, but tomorrow should reveal the state of affairs more.

I just got off the phone with Chris Parks at McCarter and Emily DeCola. Chris is directing Arabian Nights and Emily is doing puppet design; I’m the scenic designer. We started our planning when I flew to NYC last summer to do initial design discussions. Today we planned out our schedule. Which means I now have something to report to you, my faithful readers.

I will be going to NYC on January 18th.
Then flying to Atlanta on the 21st for an UNIMA board meeting.
Back up to NYC for the 24th to 28th.
Then to Chattanooga for the 29th-February 7th.
On the seventh I return to NYC for Arabian Nights rehearsals.

Whew. That’s a wirlwind, eh?
