We have a show!

And the cold is slowly seeping away. The last three days were by no means the toughest or most stressful I've been through. Though it was the most frustrating and unhappy tech I've sat though. But we got through it. We have a decent show. Not high art. But definitely not what you'd typically expect from a children's show. Everything came together in the end...today we do two back to back runs...simulating show conditions (they have two morning performances a half hour apart most weekdays). Followed by notes. My biggest challenge today is treating the samurai with UV reactive paint. Too bad I won't be able to work on it until after they take the archive shots this morning.

Ah well.

I'm happy. Still. Frustrated this week, but still happy.

And I get to go hiking in the wilderness of Hawaii this weekend....with 25 high schoolers...

I always thought there was something wrong with this business when the hard work of tech week - sometimes meaning more than twelve hour days - is rewarded by opening the show. Hard on the actors, yes, but harder on the crew and stage manager - no weekend in sight for a full week's run and at the fireside that meant opening on a Thursday and Running until Monday, two shows a day. I'm sure it means something similar for you.

Ah, yes, there's no better way to appreciate the beauty that is native Hawaii than being surrounded by 25 bored teenagers.

Can't wait to see anachronistic samurai glow-paint. (sorry--the test is almost over, no more vocab, I promise!)
