We had a fairly smooth full dress rehearsal last night. There was an audience of maybe 200 people which to me and most others meant that last night was opening. After the stop and start tech rehearsals of this past week it was a joy to run the whole thing straight through.
After the run we gathered in the house for notes. We thought we were done but ATs were held to have a scene shift rehearsal. It started at midnight and I don’t know how long it went. Principals and some others were excused.
I don’t have too much to say today, I’m very focused and rather jittery about official opening this evening.
Thanks for all the “break-a-legs.”
See ya out there in the sand.
Well, it's 6:30, Don! All our best wish to "Break a leg" go out to you and the whole blamed crew, especially those ATs who pulled the late night, last night. At least it's better than doing it at 3:30 in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI remember three summers of standing in the middle of all that sand supervising the crew. Talk about coming unstuck in time! I also remember some midsummer speed shifts for beer if the record was broken. Surely that wouldn't happen nowadays!
