As the director for “The Pearl Fantasy” coming up in September, I had to laugh at this saying;
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Since this is my directorial debut I realized there is so much I don’t know and some that I do that I didn’t realize would help me out in understanding what my “real” role is as director.
Pretty much this has been a very exciting experience with a few a few curve balls thrown in for good measure.
When I agreed to be the director it didn’t occur to me that my first job would be to develope invisible ummmm…...how should I put this lady like…..huevos??
I also didn’t understand that I would want to drink more….......tequila…mojitos have taken on a whole new meaning.  

Our group is one of the most creative and best in the business and that in itself is our shows saving grace! This will be the best show of the year not only because of the dedication of the dancers and actors but because everyone believes in the show. For my first directorial debut, I am truely blessed!!  

It occured to me that from the get go this show had a very unique spirit and her path was very defined from the beginning. I learned this first hand when I had to let the first composer go.
She was quiet, motionless as if she had gone to sleep. And as you all know to a show like this the music is the soul and to settle for what we wanted would have been a path that would have kept her asleep!
Bringing in Issa Malluf as our composer was one of the best decisions we made and his music is a magical journey that will take you into our story of loss, hope and new beginnings!  

What I have learned from my directors duties so far is that I break out in hives, hyperventilate but can do the job! Thank God for the invisible huevos and a few margaritas here and there!!  

To tell you the truth I have it easy…...when you work with the best they bring the best out in you and if the saying is true;
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are” than the best is what you will see September 6th!!
