Holidays for those of us in theater are complicated. Most people get to pretend to enjoy their time off having dinners with friends and family that they would rather not see, and generally realizing that they maybe more stressed "relaxing" then working.Thankfully we are spared this monstrosity of relaxation for the much more enjoyable task of bring joy and relaxation to others. If you haven't caught my sarcasm yet, what I'm saying is that, we in the theater usually don't get time off even for major holidays, since when you get time off you want to come and enjoy something like The Theater. So combine that with the fact that we start spreading holiday spirit a good six weeks before the holiday and you result in a hodgepodge of the same level seasonal angst most families feel, spread amongst 50 people all crammed into one building. We call it a party! ;-)
This year we've had a few of these "VSC Family" gathering. All of which are considered a chance to forget that we haven't had a day off in weeks, or that we don't actually know what holiday we're celebrating, and to enjoy each others company through a fog of alcohol and food. I thought you might all enjoy witnessing the "procession of the parties" here at VSC. *The Chistmas Party will soon follow.
