"Over the River and through the woods..."

Well, we're here in TN visiting the family for Turkey day...came in a little early to be with my Mother in Law who's been a bit under the weather. I always like coming home for the holidays, in theory anyway. Many times it just turns in to one big cluster you know what, but there are those occasions where the stars line up and we all have a beautiful time...hoping this is one of those years.
Soooo....here's the topic, and it's a simp;le one. (Once again, in theory) What are YOU most thankful for? Think about it and get back to me.
BTW- no points for this song...Too easy...(Gimme a break- I don' t know any other thanksgiving songs!)

"...don't you know, that life is a bitch!"

BOY! Lots o' college-like theatre stuff in the past few weeks. Did the ACTF state festival in Greensboro, NC and followed that up this weekend with KTA fest in Hazard, KY (insert your Bo, Luke, Coy or Vance joke here...) where I ran the SETC screening auditions. Saw some really good auditons (and I must brag- 3 of my four students made the cut, including one student who had the 11th highest score out of the 125 in-state auditionees! ) and some not so good, but all around it was a smoothly run, well attended festival.
SOOO- here's your latest question- Are things like SETC and ACTF really valuable for college theatre students or is it all a big waste o time?? Discuss....
13 points for the reference...and I want the ALBUM TITLE too!
Also, as my home PC has died, I will only be able to respond occasionally for the next few weeks. But don't give up on us, baby...we'll be back at full strength in no time!
