"The Belles of Beccaria" by Karen Eterovich. A family frozen by loss awakens to repressed desires with the return of an old flame. A Midwestern take on The Three Sisters. Starring Louisa Cabot, David Copeland, Marianne Cullinan, Barbara Farrar, Anthony Newfield and Leslie Shreve, Music/Sound David Green. Original Direction by Erma Duricko.

Very happy to have finally hit upon my synopsis summary. Always excited about the work, feel something very special about this work. Have had all sorts of ideas about directing it too. Yet how could I hope that anyone would ever let me or why? I mean I've had the full fantasy of it...Lincoln Center phoning me up, giving me an unlimited budget. Why we could have a real kitchen, live orchestra, ballroom dancers...starring Olympia Dukakis, Marian Seldes, Angela Lansbury, Vanessa Redgrave, Kevin Kline, Meryl Streep, somebody stop me!

Tech is done, Locust Grove is lush and green, beautifully situated, an idyllic setting for the show. I can well imagine myself back in time. Skin terribly dry, can't seem to get anywhere with it, I am grateful for the humidity. Dress working beautifully, providing much needed coolness. Tired, happy looking forward. Very good I ran play backwards, I felt ready to jump around as I had to!

Had final fitting Friday, delighted with new dress, it will still be in keeping with the December date of play, but be light and cool for any warm weather bookings we might get. Photos must come soon!

Travel Journal Pick Up - MAY 1, 2011 HILTON HEAD ISLAND - Every thing is running on schedule. Hank met us at the theatre, gave us a tour, signed and gave us his book too! Went to lunch first, then to housing, a lovely condo near the beach - Fiddlers Cove. The warm air so soothing. Back to the theatre for tech. Which goes quite well. We run it with cues, then go cue to cue. Ann and Andrew, from Next Stage - Bath - drop into rehearsal - I am thrilled to see them - it has been since September! After tech, back to condo for a walk on the beach and a light dinner. Very happy with the SCRC black box theatre. Quite comfortable, acoustics excellent. I've discovered I've no access to a computer. The condo is not wired. J will work during the day while I have our little one and then I am performing every night. So no access. A week without one. A week of emails piling up. But there it is. I will make the best of it. I have posted the wrong charity, Hank tells me, but I cannot correct this now until I am home and can revise the link. Home is where I have "contribute" so there it is. The correct charity is linked here: http://www.hhisafeharbour.org/

Pick up from Travel Journal: April 30, 2011, Saturday
I write today from Savannah, GA. So comfortable down here. One arrives and one feels taken care of. I feel I have a special link or tie to the south. When I came down here for graduate school (University of South Carolina) I had just been through a terribly difficult time. And here we are, my dear father, Anthony Eterovich, has just passed away. It's very hard to explain how comforting the warm wind is. May is a perfect time to be here because it's not too hot yet. Though the heat never bothered me much, I used to walk around carrying a large cup of ice and sipping it as I walked up the street to rehearsal. Wish we could see Jeannine, but will be too hard to make the trip up and perform. We had a lovely meal at Vic's By the River. Our little one went to sleep early because no nap today. But I worry about everything and am excited to see the theatre tomorrow, May1.

http://www.hiltonheadtheatre.com/Just back from a rewarding week in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I will provide updates as I look back in my journal from the week. There was no opportunity to do real time updates. The condo where the theatre located us had no internet connection. I performed the show every night and was not able to go to the club house during the day to do updates. On my project list, get a new phone! I can't believe I've waited so long to do this! Just very out of date! Want to post photos as well. SCRC is an absolutely lovely theatrical space with wonderful acoustics. Jane Austen did well in there!
