Preview Audience

So rehearsal went well last night. OK the first quarter of the first act went well, around 9:00 last night the transformer that provides the theatre with power blew. We weren't sure how to proceed. Everyone changed out of their costumes and went home. We haven't actually run the show from start to finish. Yes we have run the entire show but it was second act first and first act second. So the first time we run the show from start to finish will be for the preview audience. AGRH!!!! Oh an have I mentioned that we haven't figured out curtain call yet? Yes boys and girls that's right we have no plan for curtain call. So if you live in Northeast Ohio and need a good fun (possibly train wrecky) entertaining night come see Scrooge tonight at the Cassidy Theatre in Parma Hts. Tickets for preview are 10$.

Good Mosh Pitting!

December First

Yes boys and girls it's December First. Can you believe it, I can't. I'm amazed at how quickly the holidays have snuck up on us yet again. Of course it's busy and I have had no time for anything between work and Scrooge I don't think I've had much time to see my husband, clean my house (the place is a sty) I will be so glad when tech week is over so I can get back to normalcy. Actually spending time with the husband, not going straight from work to the theatre and not getting home till 11:00. Don't get me wrong I love theatre it's fun and I'm having a great time but, I miss having just plain old hang out time with Dave. So now that I am done bitching, how is everyone? How was every one's turkey (or tofurkey in some peoples cases) day? mine was filled with pumpkintini's and lots of food and laughing and fun, and stories of my grandfather chasing his grand-daughter and her friend around on the ATV while her brother and his friend rode in the wagon and lobbed snowballs at them. All I could hear is Flight of the Valkyrie's over and over in my head every time I picture that in my head, My grandfathers neon orange stocking cap flapping in the wind as he's standing on the ATV and he's probably only going 3 miles an hour but he had a grin from ear to ear. Yes ladies and gentlemen my grandfather is the youngest 81 year old I know as he's definitely still a kid at heart.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I at work? I've gotten one "emergengy" phone call it's been quiet the rest of the time. The boss lady is off so I don't want to just go home and get in trouble but I want to leave because honestly this is crazy! OK I'm over it because really bitching about it isn't going to make it any better. I hope everyone had lots of good turkey and trimmings and (I had a pumpkintini) they were pretty good. And now I'm at work. I think there are about a dozen of us up here, and I'm pretty sure only 2 or 3 people actually have work to do. Yes I LOVE MY JOB, I LOVE MY JOB! Oh sorry I do love my job just not the day after a holiday when there is no reason for us to even be here.

It's that time of year again

The time of year when I slowly slip into a food induced coma, that time of year when we get together and order Maggiano's for the office and have a big Thanksgiving feast. I can't believe that I am even awake enough to write this right now, I ate so much food, we had chicken pesto linguine, and baked ziti with sausage, and garlic and shrimp linguine and amazing salad with the BEST bleu cheese ever! I'm so glad we did this on a Friday I can just go home and (hopefully) lie on the couch and turn into a zombie for the rest of the evening. I hope you all have good plans for the weekend. Me I will be rehearsing because we're off next week as it is a holiday and the week after that is Tech (hell) week already so this is coming up awfully fast.

Post with video

I wish I could say this acutally was a post with a video. I was totally going to do a post with the video that my friend sent to me from the Sarah Brightman concert lastnight and talk about how incredibly jealous I was that he got to go and there is no way I'm getting to go this time around. But my computer won't recognize the video file so you'll just have to picture in your mind Sarah Brightman singing the song Anytime, Anywhere and being perfect and beautiful (as usual). Did I mention SO JEALOUS?

In the mean time my mind is sort of occupied with this little fender bender that I was in lastnight (and when I say little I mean there is no damage to either vehicle we were going about 5 miles an hour but the guy I hit says his neck hurts) I hope this doesn't blow into a big deal. It's totally stressing me out.

Sleepwalking

So my husband tells me on the phone today that he woke up last night and I was standing at the foot of the bed. I don't know what the hell is up but I do know that I've had a history of "sleepwalking" of sorts. I have never actually gotten out of bed before I usually just sit up or something like that. It really bothers me that I do that, and it really bothers me that I have no recollection of it.

GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

OK everyone think ॐ-y
Thoughts for me.

ARGH!!!! Homework!

I knew there was a reason I disliked school. We have theater homework. We need to come up with a character analysis for our (duh!) Character. But where do I start with something like this. I know it's 1843 I know that my character works with her mother in a shop where they sell their wares (knitted things caps and gloves and such) but who is she? She's lower class I've already determined that She's going to have a cockney accent I've also already determined that. But who is she? a shy girl who lives with her mother most likely in back of some-ones shop. They wouldn't live in their own shop right? I mean their poor so they don't own it. GAH!!!! I am so bad at this, I'm on about 7 website right now that are all about victorian england and conditions of the working class and European History. This is so frusterating I feel like I'm in school again and I still hate doing this kind of work. I don't even know where to start. Anybody got any brighter ideas then me? (trust me it's not hard my ideas are about as bright as a 15 watt bulb). Any resources that you know of that may help me out?

Walking in Cleveland

Yesterday for lunch we decided to go walking to the pond in front of the Art Museum (cause really it was November 6th and we could comfortably walk around the streets of Cleveland without coats or anything it was beautiful). Now I do understand that we are being spoiled and that we are lucky that we have had such beautiful weather seeing as how it's November already but we thought that it should be taken advantage of in fact if it isn't raining I think we're walking again today. So I give you Autumn in Cleveland.

Side note I think that if I have time I'm going to pay a visit to the Art Museum as they are doing the Faberge and Tiffany's displays.
