Happy New Year! We hope the holiday season has been treating you all well. In true Shakespearean tradition, we Mad Mechanicals do not believe that Christmas ends at December 25, but begins. We know that most of you know this, but for those standing in the back shuffling their feet pretending like they know what I’m talking about…The twelve days of Christmas begin on December 25. The play Twelfth Night? Yep, happens on the twelfth night of Christmas! See, sometimes Willy did things that made sense 
So we have been spending the past few weeks preparing to celebrate and now we are. Presents have been exchanged and more food than we’ve ever seen before has been eaten. Including the massive amounts of cookies. Ever wonder where Robin gets her energy? Andi has an addiction to baking enough Christmas cookies to feed a small army. Robin has an addiction to eating any cookie she can get her hands on. Yeah, that’s my excuse… We spent a lot of time with our respective families (some via Google talk – thank goodness for the internet!) and lots of time together. Games have been played and plans have been made. Yep, we multi-task and have some interesting ideas to launch upon you in the new year. Living and working in the northeast means a quite winter performance wise for us, but it allows us the time we need to catch up on some writing and extra rehearsals. Not to mention super-secret projects that we keep teasing you with but haven’t had time to work on since we’ve been out playing with you all summer! We’re hoping to see the fruition of some of these projects, as we’re excited about them as well. We have a busy spring lined up already and are working on plans for the summer and fall. As always keep your faces glued to our website and Facebook pages for updated information. My New Year’s resolution? To try to provide you with more content on the Facebook page. Keep in mind most New Year’s resolutions don’t make it to the end of January, but I’ll do my best!
