"...mmm...steak..."

Omaha Nebraska. It's been very strange being back here. As most of you know,I spent many years here with the Nebraska Theatre Caravan,and this is my first time back with a different company. I did manage to squeeze in a visit to the playhouse to say hi to most of the artistic staff. Really made want to go back and work there again. Not that I have any plans to leave Ponyville,but NTC was always such a great experience and I really hope to work there again one day. Adam and I made it up to Mr.C's for dinner last night,which is the best steakhouse with the tackiest decor in town. Love that place.

The show here was actually a rather unpleasant experience. Instead of booking us into one of the arenas or a big theatre,they decided to shoehorn us into the Music Hall,which is a nice little venue for small concerts and the like,but WOEFULLY inadequate for our needs. We only had about half the playing area we're used to,which of course leads to 8 ponies colliding with each other instead of doing the correct staging. Abby and Tim actually ran into each other so hard that Abby's costume broke. It was also ridiculously hot in the building,Jamie came down with a nasty case of bronchitis,and we had to perform the show during a tornado warning. Plus,the rain kept leaking into the theatre. I will miss Omaha as always,but this time I can't wait to get out of here.

Next week-Dallas. Coming soon-5 straight split weeks. Ugh.
