Thanksgiving went well – it was nice to visit with my family, even if it was only for the one day.  And when I came back, sweet little Miles was looking so much better!  He got a cold about a month ago, and due to all the irritation in his eye (cats don’t get runny noses, they get runny eyes) he developed an ulcer that would not go away.  However, I was thankful to see some improvement!

Now – on to cleaning my house a bit so that I can pull out the Christmas tree!!!

  • My dad, my aunt, and I saw Sir Paul McCartney in concert and it was AMAZING!!!! (#11)
  • I went and had a fitting and did a little shopping – Atlanta has great shopping! (#14)
  • I filed paperwork for my LLC and became OFFICIAL – more details on that in the next month or so. (#25)
  • When Daddy came up for the concert he brought me more things from my parents’ house, and I’d say that aside from some childhood memento type things, I’m pretty well moved out now. (#56)
  • When we moved in, I totally rearranged my books so that they truly are according to the Library of Congress system. (#61)
  • I joined the local library! (#75)

Lots going on, hopefully I’ll actually complete the list this time around!

I would be completely remiss if I didn’t showcase the 2007 Regional Tony Award Winner, the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, GA.  Why?  Because that’s where I am working!!!  I’m completing my third year internship with the Alliance this year, and now that I’ve been there 3 weeks, I can’t say enough good things about them!  I am so thrilled to be a part of such an awesome organization, and I hope that I can continue to be with the Alliance for a long time!

Don’t forget, as we near the end!  At the end of Blogathon 2009, I’ll take the top three sponsors (largest donations) and let them pick one of the shows I mention today. If it’s a musical, then they’ll get the soundtrack for free. If it’s a play, then they’ll get the script for free. Don’t you want to sponsor me now?!?!

One of the nominees for the Tony Awards Best Musical was The Color Purple, based on the book by Marsha Norman and produced (among others) by Oprah Winfrey.  This one is particularly exciting for me because it went to Broadway after first being mounted on the stage at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, GA . . . where I am currently completing my internship!!!

Cover of The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?

I’ve got another strange one for you kids!  If you’re squeamish or easily offended, then the winner of 2002′d Pulitzer Prize for Drama is not for you!  Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? is about acceptance and social norms.  If you’re up for the challenge, the play will change the way that you think.

We’re getting to the home stretch!  Remember – whoever is in the top three pledges for me will receive the soundtrack or script of their choice out of all the productions I’ve discussed during Blogathon!

Suzan-Lori Parks won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama with her play Topdog/Underdog, which was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play.  This is one of my all-time favorite plays.  The dialogue is stunning, almost as if the entire work is one long poem.  It is breathtaking, and I hope it is revived on Broadway because I would LOVE to see it!

Mel Brooks makes his Broadway debut with Tony Award winning Best Musical The Producers.  By far the most successful of all his theatrical productions, The Producers is hilarious!
