Getting Ready for Opening...

Last night we had our tech for my new show. Yikes. As with any show, our tech was long and filled with problems. We don't have all our props, our lead doesn't know all her lines yet (not her fault, she has a million and they're all the same--I'm confident she'll learn them by opening), and we're rusty on a lot of the choreography.

Yet I had a total burst of excitement. Dressed to kill, sitting in a darkened, empty theatre, this is what I've been waiting for for the last 6 weeks. And soon we'll have audiences! Yippee!

The festival has been doing super well--it started last weekend, and two shows were completely sold out. Hopefully our show will be as well recieved--we've put posters up all over the neighborhood, so we may get some walk-ins. I'm really proud of this. I have a bit more accent work to do (I totally had my character's speech patterns down, but lost it after a week of not practicing) but I think we'll be ready to go by Saturday. Fingers crossed!
