Dear Constant Reader,

There’s a nor’easter howling outside, but I’m snug in The Manor with a cup of tea and big white purring cat. If you’ve got to go out, be careful!

Here’s your tip!

Inclement weather can really mess with show day. Plan ahead!

Call the venue or your producer before you leave to make sure the show is still on.

Allow extra travel time.

If you’re worried about your costumes in transit, line your suitcase with a big trash bag.

Pack an extra act, just in case a performer can’t make it. You could be a hero!

The audience may be smaller than expected, but they deserve the same great show as a packed house. Maybe even better.

Stay safe and dry!
