bluecastleOur show last night went well-ish. Just a small group of folks and they were CRICKETS CHIRPING QUIET. Also we ran long somehow (new show, new performers, not that surprising) so we were cutting things on the fly and skipping bits at the end. I can't say I minded not doing the bit about the dead navy boy. Heart-renching that.
But great fun doing Dr. Huer the mad scientist working on his "Electro-Hypno-Mentalophone." Which is a by product of his Electro-Hypnotic Ray and his Mentaloscope. See and hear someone's thoughts ... just like on a moving picture screen ... :)))
Jane the dippy housewife is also fun. She's sold her furniture for $400, bought it back for $250 and is overwhelmed with delight over having "made" $150 profit. So she wants to keep doing that until she's made enought "profit" to buy a fur coat. Interestingly its described as Jane, and her huband Mr. Ace and their dear friend Marge who had some line about how she's glad the sofa is back so she can stay in her special corner of it. Just HOW dear a friend is Marge I wickedly wondered ;)) LOL.
Anyway. Great fun, and we have another show at another senior center tomorrow night.
What was not so fun was loading out all the STUFF ... (sound eq, keyboard, sound effects, music stands, costumes ... etc etc...) in the sudden pouring rain storm.
But, my director decided she was making cheeseburgers for afters and invited me over. Which was very sweet of her. We were all exhausted from first day of school and show, but YAY BURGERS! And I had a tiny adventure on the way as I had to stop and get gas and there were cop cars and drunk and/or angry couple being talked at by said cops right in the front of the store. SUCH language! :)
But we ate, and I came home, fed the cat and all but passed out from exhaustion. Hopefully tomorrow I will rememer to pull my camera out of my bag and get a few shots of us and our new costumes. Which are cute if not exactly period. More like period-esque. Anyway.
Back to work today, and I'm determined to be MORE PRODUCTIVE today. Yesterday was mostly a wash.
