I need new glasses. Maybe I should just clean them. Oh, okay, that's better. Got the outline for the programme done. Just need the last sponsor logos and "special thanks" names. Last night I was told that we have to use the upstairs room again tonight, because of the show that opens on Saturday. I know the other director, and my niece Marissa is in it; it's a little frustrating because we still have a good deal of work to do, and we were slated to have another tech rehearsal--which we really need. The main thing here is to stay calm and focused.
We'll have a couple of days to tighten and cut performances; then next week will be tech/dress and quick adaptation. Being flexible is necessary, as well as ensuring all of our needs are met.
We rehearsed the show last night, I tried to get through all the acts in two hours, but alas, it didn't happen. Tonight, we'll have a shorter warm up, then go right into Act III. From there, we'll go sequentially. Last night I needed the stage manager to be there to manage the props. My set builder hasn't been returning my calls since our missed meeting. Concerned. I believe we have to get a sound person back up; haven't seen or heard from the guy that's supposed to do it.
Marta, the costume designer, brought some clothes for some of the cast. She's really good at what she does and has made a difference in terms of the character looks. This show has a lot of costume changes.
I know we'll have great turnouts for the show. Just needing to breathe. All things are working in our favor.
