    Are we there yet? I consider Friday night “the weekend”!

    Some people also consider Monday morning the weekend, but I’m hoping it’ll be before then.

    Is there any way we can just get a specific date and time (even if it is Monday) so that we can peel ourselves away from this blog and live our lives?

We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
