Exhausted, but still looking for stuff to do....

I am so exhausted. I haven't had time to sit and breathe. I know part of me doesn't really want to, though my body has this thing where, after a while, it wants to sleep and it fights my will. To punish me, it decides to grab the next bout of sickness or lethargy and hold on for dear life, forcing me to stop. As mom has been sick since the day of grandpa's funeral, I know that may very well happen if I'm not careful. Ugh.
After the show, several if not all of my actors and parents asked me if I would be doing a summer show. Since there is such a demand for it, I announced to the board that I, indeed, would like very much to do a summer show. I am a glutton for punishment, I know. However, it is a wonderful experience to get to know all of the kids and to allow them to embrace and explore their talents. Plus, I gain experience as a director each time I am involved with a show. I love it and I love the children. Actually, I just fall in love with the families that come and are involved with each of my shows. They are all awesome and helpful people. 
So, after Kidsummer, I find myself with a dilemma... How am I going to top THAT? I have been presented with a few ideas. I would like to stay with the same theme of adaptations of Shakespeare, and have found a few different ones. Since they're 50 minutes, I think I'll do one of those for the summer show.
For next season's show, I think I might attempt another musical. Jane keeps bringing up Roar of the Greasepaint-Smell of the Crowd... It seems like a cool show, and I'm going to looking into it.
