missroseroseSaturday was interesting. First off, we reindeer had a tech rehearsal, which is always boring for the actors. On the other hand, this was easily the smoothest one I've experienced, and it got done ahead of time, plus I had a book to read, so that was pretty cool. Come to think of it, this whole production has been one of the smoothest and most together shows I've ever worked. (In the interests of full disclosure, however, I should probably mention that the rest of my experience is limited to high-school productions - where you're dealing with, well, high-schoolers - and King Island Christmas, which was such a huge production with so many moving parts that the laws of entropy wouldn't let it go smoothly without a miracle involved. Hell, it was a miracle we got that show off the ground at all.)
On the other hand, Saturday we were doing costuming. All well and good, until I discover that I'm apparently allergic to whatever the costume shop uses for their detergent; I spent most of Saturday evening and night scratching all over. (Didn't get much sleep that night, let me tell you.) So Sunday I took my costume home and washed it in the perfume/dye free stuff we have here at home. Hopefully that'll do the trick - I guess I'll see tonight, since we're doing a full run. Then Tuesday night is the two-full-runs-to-polish-final-touches thing, so that we can have everything together by Thursday for the preview. And then Friday is opening. Blurgle.
The rest of the weekend went pretty well, though. We had another Rock Band night on Saturday, which was a lot of fun, especially when we finally unlocked a couple of songs that I actually knew ("Don't Fear the Reaper" and "Dani California"). And most of our Christmas presents arrived, so much time was spent cutting and wrapping and taping and ribboning and generally feeling festive. The pile of presents under the tree is starting to overflow, but hey! That's one of the joys of Christmas.
Anyway, off to lunch. I'll have to see if I can find one of the flyers for our show to scan and post...
