Today was the deadline for the First Night Austin proposal (on New Year's eve). I got it all done and delivered it this afternoon. What a relief! And what a learning curve. It was challenging getting information from people who had knowledge that I did not have and needed. Then, someone stepped up to the plate and helped me with pricing (for the budget proposal) and other, performer-specific insights. Apparently, First Night Austin has been getting more and more applicants every year, as they should. It is a great showcase of all the diverse cultural events and artists who call Austin their home. One of the biggest attraction to this affair; it is a family friendly event with no boozing. A big plus for a city that has a lot of families. These types of events are memories in the making. Now let's cross our fingers and hope we get invited to participate.
Now it's back to the continuous publicity work for our summer production, Iolanthe.

4 weeks to go before opening night (June 11th)! Blocking sequence rehearsals are in full force and all will be ready come showtime.
When every blessed thing you hold
Is made of silver, or of gold,
You long for simple pewter (The Gondoliers)
