At the theater

It's my favorite thing - being at a theater.   Rehearsing, spending time together backstage, doing hair and makeup, (getting nervous) and finally getting that precious time onstage - becoming familiar with the new space and making it my own - it's a special couple of days that fly by before you know it!  So on Thursday we were up bright and early for classes starting at 8:30am.  Surprisingly, I felt really awake even with getting up shortly after 6, which was nice.  After classes and part of a run-through we went to the theater for an afternoon for tech and boring stuff like that.  (No, it is all really important, but sometimes it can be tedious.)
Actually, it ended up not being that boring at all!  I ran around for quite awhile helping our temporary stage manager and others with costumes and odd jobs.  We got to run our pieces and everything was good.

It was nice to see our poster up in the front at the theater as well as our school name and performance date running up on the marquee!

We got out right on time as well on tech day, so that was really nice.  I got home around 8:30 and soon realized that I had maybe sat down for a combined 20 minutes max the entire day!!  (Crazy, isn't it?!) 


Next morning, (Friday) I got to wake up a little later as classes started at 9:30.  I got to the studio around 8:30 or so and started warming up.  It was rather unexpected what happened next, however!  (Hint:  costume drama!)
