Week 2 of Tech....playing catchup

So i have been informed that I am a bad blogmaster, but I was trying to keep everyone in suspense. Plus, i wanted to compile things to say. ( or maybe i was just lazy and distracted----but here goes)

We wrapped up the 1st week of tech with getting through the entire show , and blocking the bows. It took all week, but I think we were all glad to reach the end. AND, we did so well that Jerry let us out at 6pm instead of goin all the way to 1030. Thank you captain.....thank you!!!! So, of course chaos ensued.

Unfortunately, I cant go into the details of the late night adventures (young impressionable ears /eyes are present) around the metropolis of PROVIDENCE. But, I know that some ventured to CHEESECAKE FACTORY, some saw HOUSE BUNNY, and there was a GUYS NIGHT OUT to the infamous CITY GRILL. And maybe i had a fabulous steak that was preposterously expensive.......but we were then joined by Larry & Nell, as well as the ever bubbly James Sampliner ( i think he would hate that i called him bubbly but i thought it funny). And now, we are the infamous CAST that gallivants around town. Forget the college kids ( of which we cant decipher between them and the homeless vagabonds) because the Musical Theatre Kids are raising all out mayhem. This is all happening when we aren't simply playing WII or GUITAR HERO. Its the simple things in life.....

OH----for you reality kids--- you should know that Rhiannon got injured over the weekend. She was running off stage and ran into one of the SMs( stage managers) holding a clipboard and it gouged a chunk out of her finger. So, now she has a bright bedazzled finger tube. It is quite nice, plus she made one for Tally's cheese hand. Not very manly but beautifully ornate. Maybe we should start selling a line of them in the lobby........always looking for a hook and away to make a buck in this horrible economy. Speaking of, Mark Bruni had a great T-Shirt on yesterday that was grey with the word CHIP in pink on his shoulder. Apparently this was a gift from Laura Bell. And I say it was genius.

So week two has shown a bit of a snails pace. It consists of stumbling/lurching through an act a day, and then running the act again in the night. Also, Jeff was not feeling well Tuesday morning ( I think because Leslie and I made him laugh too hard the night before). So, as he was getting ultrasounded in the hospital I played Warner for the 1st act. And for your info out there, our first understudy rehearsal isnt happening until the thursday after we open. So, blindly thrown into the act was a bit numbing. But, it went really well......and I think i may have caused myself to age 3 years in a few hours because of it. But, Jeff is back and better than ever, and tomorrow marks our full run with all the works. THANK THE LORDS OF PINK!

There have also been some interviews for local papers, and other changes that people will have to see when they see the show (sorry I will not be giving spoilers on this blog). SO, google the boards or the show in Providence to hear some interviews with Becky, Rhiannon, and Lauren.

Til then kiddies...........(pictures soon cause i left my camera back at the theatre)
