Opening night
Whew. Tonight was opening night for the first show of the season, The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged). It's been a busy week:
Sunday - tech rehearsal for about 6 hours
Monday - dress rehearsal
Tuesday - dress rehearsal
Wednesday - dress rehearsal
Thursday - run around after work to two different stores, trying to find a pair of black pants that aren't completely ugly or made of some unnatural fabric
Friday - give up and decide that no one will really notice if one of the backstage "ninjas" is wearing navy blue instead
It was a small audience, but it sure sounded like everyone enjoyed it. Most of the costume changes went smoothly, and only one of the actors was bleeding by the end of the first act. (Oops.)
Tomorrow night should be more like a real opening… there are 50 or so reserved so far. Yay!
