Stacey and I have spent this month (and a good chunk of December) working on a two-person sketch show. On top of that, we're both working our jobs, scheduling/managing events at the theater, teaching classes and keeping in touch with friends. There is not a lot of free time on either of our plates. The show opens tomorrow January 22nd at 9pm and I am a bit on the nervous side. There is a lot more riding on this sketch show than we would have ever thought.
First, we own the theater and are the instructors of the training center. There's a reputation there we need to make sure we hold.
Second, we haven't had any free time as a couple - so a lot of our rehearsal time has been spent doing our couple's arguing over stupid things. It's ridiculous on both our parts. I know I'm not easy to work with in a sketch environment, I warned everybody. Both she and I are fairly stubborn and feel like we know how to make any sketch idea work. When you're not working together, it will never work. Sheesh.
Third, We have already received a good amount of attention and we have never done the show. (Click the links to read)

We have our last rehearsal in the early afternoon tomorrow. Right now we're at the point where we hate everything in the show and don't think any of the sketches are worth the paper we've printed them out on. There's a lot of stress going on around here. Wish us luck. We'll see how it goes...
