Photos & biographies up on the Camden Civic Theatre website. There have also been a lot of other improvements to the site, if you want to poke around for a minute.
I'd also like to take some space to mention our Get Involved section, where you can be a patron of the arts of sorts and make a tax-deductible contribution to CCT. The case for dollar support for our company is the community-building work we are doing; even though we live in the most theatre-rich city in the nation (measured by companies per population), we will be the only theatre company operating in the modest, blue-collar borough of Camden. You can read more about the mision here.
I realize, though that the community-building aspect of our organization does not affect the majority of your own local communities, which have their own needs; so I understand if you feel the case it not totally there to inspire your volunteer dollars. However, if you live too far away to reasonably be expected to attend a performance, but would otherwise like to support us, consider picking up some stylish Camden Civic Theatre gear at Cafe Press.

Couple things.
Cool.
Are you the only actual resident of Camden?
Why does Victory show up twice in the description of the seven areas that make up Camden on the Mission page?
Good catch.
Jeff Redman is from Camden. Valerie & Katie from Uptown.
Kevin from Roseville.
Nice to see your group is strong on the internet. I didn't know that you had gear to sell. I am eyeballing that golf polo. I need an 2x. I will possibly get one this fall. Remind me later this year.
Absolutely. But isn't a golf polo summer wear?
Not in my school. The heat flows full blast into my room all year. It is 80+ degrees in my room all year long. On the coldest days I have my windows open all the way. Old school and no sight of repairs anytime soon.
Hmmm... kid on the way, acting in a local theater, decent job, working on a solo album... some may envy you. In typing those very words I realize I'm making some serious assumptions, but still.
Well, you know how to make a guy take a step back and be thankful for the blessings in his life.
But were I to deconstruct:
1. Kid on the way: Great stuff. I think about it and I get all giggly. Amazing, precious times we have as a family. Though, I'm not afraid to say I often look back on the pre-Lucy days with some degree of wistfulness. My free time each day doesn't really begin till 8. Or later, if I'm putting her down and she doesn't go to sleep right away. Gone are mine & Sharon's backpacking trips and weekend getaways, as well as a lot of our energy for having fun with each other when we DO have time together. Plus, we pay $545 a month for Lucy's Montessori School. Man! At this point, I don't have a fucking clue how we're going to afford child-care for 2. I'm just hoping it will all work out, somehow.
2. Acting in local theatre: Fun, and I just got back into this at age 34. It must be noted that I'm not acting at the Guthrie, up here in Mpls. Community theatre exists in some form in almost all communities, and is available to all...
3. Decent job...hmmm...that's all relative. Middle class pay, stuck in a damned office all day with a 30-40 minute commute each way. I do like making maps, so that's cool. But I'm a public sector spirit working in a Fortune 500 environment, and that just kills me daily.
4. Working on a solo album. Rewarding, no doubt, when I actually spend time on it, which is not often. Of course, there's no reason just about anyone can't pursue one art form or another to some level of personal achievement.
One could envy YOU...living in a smaller community (a cerebral and vibrant college town, no less), whiling(sp?) away hours taking camera-phone shots of the rain drip-dripping down the windows from inside the local coffee shop. (sorry that probably grossly mischaracterizes your lifestyle--but I will continue). Advanced degree well in hand, able to pursue literature...damn, forget the climb up Maslow's Pyramid-you're firmly perched atop with the point up your ass!
Other people's lives are very interesting; I've only been living just mine. (I could try to have a double life, but I'm not up to that. Didn't Charles Kauralt We don't have children, so naturally I see your situation, see that you've departed from that launch pad, and I sort of feel like Gary Sinise in "Apollo 13", left to stare skyward while leaning against his car.
That said, I don't ever, ever feel envy. At least not in principle. I actually like where I am now. I'll get into this a bit more in my blog corner.
Which is something to note, right there. You are about as forthcoming about your life in your blog as any blog I've read. I've been posting consistently for a year now, and I've tried to avoid major details about anything that would inspire someone reading to say, "Hey, I know this guy." I may try to loosen things up, now that my audience has changed a bit.
I'm not widely known for being a private man. My hope is for me to be able to look back on this whole blog experiment and have a meaningful journal of my life.
My only taboos in subject matter are personal issues I have with friends & family, and mentioning the company I work for by name.
On the subject of envy: funny, I feel envy constantly, at least about various aspects of other people's lives: envy that Mixdorf lives on a lake and has radiant floor heating, envy that Cory doesn't pay any daycare costs, even envy that Stephen doesn't have kids. But those are only minor little pieces of our lives that don't figure into the entire equation a whole lot on their own. As a whole person, I wouldn't trade places with really anyone in the world (except maybe my daughter or Adam Clayton).
