For those of us who live by the academic calendar, September is when the year begins. It's all well and good to sing about how "spring has wakened all the flowers" at Eastertime, but September is when things really start hopping. Syllabi come streaming out of copiers, parents double-park their SUV's to unload their children's belongings into college dorms, and after a quiet summer, it's time to share the quiet haunts of the college with the tuition-paying customers -- the STUDENTS! Meanwhile, in the theater world, season calendars are published and the engines of theatrical production begin to whir once more.
In other words, there's plenty going on, and not just at the University, to wit:
We got word that Kerry was accepted as a ninth grader at Central High School



He'll be starting classes there on Friday, taking a full schedule including English, Algebra, Biology, World History and Italian.
We settled on the house in Wilmington on Monday and can now proudly take our place as former Delawareans.
The August News page has gone up for Gemini The Musical, including casting information and a sneak peak at Tobin Ost's set design. Rehearsals are less than two weeks away, and final touches are being applied to the piano score. Here's a photo of me (looking stupid) with Robert Picardo, who plays Fran, when we met in NYC in August for the first time; you can read more about Bob on the Gemini page.


We have gotten confirmation that A Lyrical Opera Made By Two will be appearing at the second annual International Festival of Musical Theater at Cardiff, Wales. Stay tuned for more news about the first production of the Gertrude Stein/William Turner opera since its premiere in 1978! Also in the works - the first European meeting of the International Music Theater Training Symposium, timed to coincide with our performances there during the first week of April.
All this, and another year at the Musical Theater Program at The University of the Arts to boot! Things are clearly hopping!
