BWW Blog: Jesse Swimm of Goodspeed's FIDDLER ON THE ROOF - The Day Off

Boy have I been looking forward to this one all week long, lol. This was an especially tough week for a lot of us as we not only had our normal 8 show week, we also had some understudy rehearsal on Thursday and Friday to be ready if the chance arose when we would have to go on. Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate being able to work on the material in a different way and it is always a treat when you get to hear different interpretations of the story. However, with all that said and done I was still extremely exhausted at the amount of work we had been doing. So the prospect of two days off was a spectacular one. It started out rather a bit intense and not necessarily what one would think would be a relaxing morning. However getting to the gym is something important and actually was the perfect way for us to gear up for our epic day off. Since I have started this job, and a bit before, I have been trying to keep up with a regular routine of gym as well as eating a much more strict diet. So far it has been going well, but there are definitely those times where I would love a large pizza and some beer, ha!!!

BWW Reviews: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST HEMINGWAY - Your Son Also Rises

Elliot B. Quick and James Rutherford's wild mashup of Oscar Wilde and Ernest Hemingway, The Importance of being Ernest Hemingway, is a fascinating deconstruction of manly posturing.
