Happy Halloween!!! 


I love this holiday. : )
And today is the perfect day for it. The dark blue billowing clouds have rolled in and the contrast between the changing leaves, the orange pumpkins everywhere, and that gorgeous sky really is breathtaking. I probably love this holiday so much for the unrecognized beauty that's all around. Not to mention this is one of the only holiday where creativity seems to reign. OK OK OK I'll stop blabbing on this awesome holiday and move on to something more relative to my theatre blog. . .

Well my AD duties are starting to come to a close. I've handed over most of my responsibilities to Wendy. She's fantastic. Tonight we're running rehearsal together. It's a line drill party!!! Woot! Sucks for the actors but I'm pretty excited about it. We get to dress up. I'll be Tina Turner's white sister from another mister. You can call me Tessa. : P

After line drill we'll have a super awesome Halloween party. We were going to do our Alpha Psi Omega initiation but our stuff isn't in yet. *sad face* Oh well. By putting it back a few weeks we get to have an initiation WEEK!! So excited!!! 

Well I'm off to finish up my amazing Halloween goodies! Hope everyone enjoys this fantastic day.

Today is my first big rehearsal all by myself! Holy crap! I'm really excited. Hopefully I won't screw anything up. We're only doing act two so it can't go that badly.

One Down. . .

Well Marcus was a hit! I had so much fun doing this show. The cast and crew were fantastic and I'm really looking forward to working with everyone again.


For the most part everything went really smoothly. Opening night we had an issue with the sound. Martin was set in the car ready to go. He went to "turn on the radio" and about ten seconds after the song started the CD player just stopped. I panicked. I had Rusty restart the song and the damn thing play for about fifteen seconds and then skipped to the song that plays before Martin's song. At this point I was about ready to cry. Thanks to Casey he helped me stay relatively calm and we just pulled the lights and ended the scene. Later in the show our light board got a whole scene ahead of the cues but that was easily fixed. It wasn't the best opening night I could have had as a Stage Manager but it could have been much worse. I am relieved I'm not Stage Managing J.B. 

The rest of the shows went spectacularly. Everything worked fine and the actors did a fantastic job. The only disappointing part was the laugh of a sense of humor in our last two audiences. Oh well what are you gonna do?

Now on to J.B. 

Then Alpha Psi Omega auditions!

Then SWEENEY TODD AUDITIONS!!!!!! 

Yay!

Organized Chaos  

Posted by S. Ann

Well my Assistant Directorship has come to a close for Marcus as we go into tech week. I am now the Stage Manager for Marcus and I will continue to be AD for the run of JB. 


I'm finally starting to feel overwhelmed with everything I've got to get done today. I didn't get a chance to do much work with the music yesterday so I've still got a TON of editing to do. I also haven't gotten any of my paper work typed up. I was planning on having time this afternoon to do that but I always forget about my stupid lab. So now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. 

On top of the sound stuff I've got to run and get a pizza, some muffins, and some tea. I think I'm going to have to delegate some of this stuff to other people. 

I'm excited about this weekend. I'm sure it's going to be a great show. 

Alright off to be productive!

Utter Chaos (and I'd have it no other way!)

It's been awhile since I've updated. There has been ssssoooo much going on.

Since I've last updated I've gotten to run my own rehearsal, we've gone off book for act two of Marcus, I've put together music for Marcus, researched some music for JB, AND Jeanne applied for the rights to . . .

. . .

. . .

SWEENEY TODD!!!!

I'm super excited about all of this.

My rehearsal went well. I led the warm-ups with the cast members that were there and we worked lines. It was fun. I like that I'm actually getting to be so involved. I thought that it would be more just watching but I'm so thrilled that I get to participate.

Lines for act two went almost as well as lines for act one. I'm really impressed with our cast. Yet again! It's awesome to work with such great people. I'm really looking forward to working with the tech crews as tech week approaches. I'm more comfortable with the tech crew mostly because I know them better. I feel more accepted by the tech crew too. I'm sure it will just take more time and patience with the actors. Whom I already love btw. . . I'm hoping they think I'm pretty swell too.

I LOVE LOVE LOVED picking the music for Marcus. I feel like I have a good intuition for that kind of thing. I think in emotions and colors. So lighting was fun for me. I've never really done music stuff before. But I'm hooked. Surprise surprise. I love theatre!

Oh Sweeney Todd. . . swoon!!! I'm really excited about this. I hope it comes through. My only concern is my inability to decided whether I want to be on stage or stage manage. I'm really leaning towards acting. It's been awhile and I'm not confident in my ability. (So I'm listening to Pandora right now and the song that just came on is Take a Chacne from Momma Mia. . . guess that's a sign?) Guess I'll just take a chance and audition. : )

I love this semester!
