Sent out a few complimentary copies of the play, especially to Lara, who was its first director. 

Rehearsal under conditions– displacement from the stage, improvising space and props and other elements-- which rendered it all but pointless. Too much hauling of furniture damages concentration. Walked behind Jesse as we went to our cars afterwards, so he didn’t see me. He danced a little in his walk. He keeps saying how happy he is to be doing this, and his very stride showed the truth of it. I thought of that, how I was feeling tired and maybe semi-regretful at having taken this project on (but semi-not) while he danced with joy. His parents have bought a number of seats.
