Hello Bloggers!

SO - as we start to pack our bags again, we reflect on this last stint. Slightly surreal in parts - alas, the Staunton Theatre Festival which we hoped to be part of didn't seem to quite materialise, so we were the only visiting company to survive. Quite small audiences, but - a wonderful community here, who have hosted us so generously. And the audience that did turn out absolutely loved getting involved in the pre-show games, and we had some lovely feedback.
I enjoyed running workshops at the school - the students were incredibly polite: 'yes ma'm' , which threw me a little!
On we go again, tomorrow is a day off, and Craig's birthday, so we will spend a day at Warm Springs Virginia, which promises to be a much needed spa relaxation in natural thermal waters. Horay! Quite excited to vacate the Howard Johnson hotel, and get back on the road again.
Thanks to all our new friends in Staunton, and here's to more fun and adventure. Next stop, Roanoake!
