A day off?

So we officially made it through Tech weekend and also our First Dress Rehearsal. What a relief. The show is truly coming together and its wonderful knowing that we are so close to opening night. The show is about 98% ready, we just have those final little tweaks to make to give it that little extra edge. The cast is excited, the Designers are exhausted but excited, and you couldn't ask for a better spot to be in.

Today is the first day off for me from the show in ten days. That type of time is exhausting and today my body has realized that it's a day off, so I'm stuck home sick. It's been a long week but rather enjoyable as we see the show piece together. Tech was great! It was slower than we originally expected but it allowed us to make those ever so slight changes that we needed to lights and sound.

So here we go, two more shots before we have an audience! This show really has been a treat. As Jessie mentioned, the way that the cast & designers have been able to work together has never been experienced by myself. It truly is a wonderful experience of a show!
