Dawn already ablaze. 

Concert at Grace Covenant last night for a small, appreciative crowd. Most of our choreography and scene-setting worked just fine, contrary to my expectations– the most successfully theatrical show we’ve done in a long time. The repertoire is convincing– not what I would have chosen, but vital and energetic, with musical (or perhaps I should say dramatic) virtues I had not anticipated. Pop, but strong pop. We’d slipped into the habit of doing junk. It’s not Schubert now, but neither is it junk. Hellish time afterward staggering home across the empty parking lots.
