yeah, i forgot that i do have tiny other news.
i have been presented with an opportunity to go up to some college in wisconsin and speak to a class, as a professional scene designer, about the design process which resulted in our first show this season, the guys. apparently, these kids are going to come see the show and the teacher had hoped one of us could go talk to the kids afterwards, at their school, about how the design process unfolds and develops into a realized production.
now, i don't know whether these are college kids in an arts class like my sister teaches, or if they're design/theater students. i don't even know if it's something i want to do. the thing is (and there's always a "thing"), i hope to go academic sometime in my career and if i hope to do well i have to get over my "i hate public speaking" thing. so i've decided that even if i don't want to, i should take this opportunity.
that's my other tiny news.

"about how the design process unfolds and develops into a realized production"
this sounds more like my kind of class than a regular design class. in my class, i call it "the organic theory of play production" (got that term from my book) and use your models to show how you have to think about technical stuff (like in act three, this guy needs to drop through a trap-door, so there has to be one those) but also stuff like mood, color, theme, etc.
I think you should definitely do it. see how you feel in front of students, give you a taste of teaching, etc. not that i'm in any place right now to give out career advice......
