The highlights: MSD's bond levy passed by 313 votes as of the final official tally announced yesterday. That means a new North Medford HS on the current campus at 1900 N Keeneway Drive. The current draft concept drawings include saving 4 structures of the existing facility: The Gyms, the Planetarium, the Tech arts complex, and the Theaters... so my life might not change much, but I am hoping for new electrics, a new ceiling configuration, understage storage, and a lift in my orchestra pit.
We closed Midsummer Night's Dream the weekend before T-giving, and thus completed our third full-length production this year, already equalling the full year output of recent seasons. Antigone (Feb) will be our fourth and match last season's total. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Mar) will give us a record season, and we will still have Seussical (Apr) coming. Busy year for NMHS Theater. Next season, we are already lining up The Fantastiks for the workshop piece to launch the year, with a comedy in th Fall, something older in Feb and hopes for the vocal talents to tackle Pirates of Penzance come spring. Looking hard at what we might need to do in line of alternate facilities, should construction eat into our production calendar.
Finally, Parkinson's has been getting a lot of press in the aftermath of Limbaugh's digs at Michael J Fox. My dad fell again in early November and his mobility continues to be greatly impaired. He's been living here in Medford since August - we moved him over from Bandon to keep him closer to me, as well as Mom, who has also moved back to the valley.
That's the sporadic update for now. I'll be back in early 2007.
