the ocean

I'm gearing up for my annual show! As in, it is finally fully written and I've done enough rehearsing that I'm actually fairly confident I'll be able to get through it. Also I'm reasonably certain the theater won't be closed by the building inspector or run off with my money between now and April.

This year's theme is the '90s. I was in high school and then college during the '90s, so it's a particularly pivotal decade for me. We did the macarena at my senior prom. Titanic swept the Oscars my sophomore year. I was somehow brainwashed into swing dancing on the lower level of the university commons. What a wonderful time to be alive!

We will also be featuring solely music from the '90s in this program. But no, Mmmmmbop did not make the cut, as I lack the lyrical skill to rework that particular classic. Not to mention the long, lustrous locks of a Hanson. 

So if you happen to be in Chicago on April 12 and have $20, join us. Or don't, of course. I mean, I'm not going to tell you how to live your life.
