One show down...

Magic Flute opened and closed this weekend.  Whew... what a weekend.  It has always saddened me to do all this work for one weekend of performances.  But the cast was amazing!!!  Tonight was a sold out performance.  Completely maxed out.  We even added more chairs.  What a way to end the experience of beautiful music.  If you are unfamiliar with The Magic Flute, look it up.  It's okay, I'll wait while you do.  All done?  Great!  Now that you are up to speed...Why were you not familiar with it!?!?!  Mozart knew his stuff.  The way he writes for the instruments and for the voice!!! How?!?!?  Seriously, it is so natural and so fluid.  Get thee hence to itunes or your nearest Mega-Bookstore and purchase a copy.  Or borrow one from the library.

Cemetery Club begins tech rehearsals this weekend.  I have to focus the lights tomorrow night and then we just wait until the new light controller that we ordered to arrive and then I can program the lighting cues.  Luckily, there aren't that many light changes. The only "difficult" changes come in the cemetery.  And only during Act 1.  All three ladies are on stage conversing with their deceased husbands at once.  The conversations do not pause but continue through the other monologues.  It will be interesting to see the finished product.  If we can sell some tickets.  But small town...we wait until the last minute to do anything.  Maybe tickets will start selling on Monday.

Annie has a company meeting scheduled for Monday afternoon.  Hopefully we can get people to commit to this production.  Going to hang out with Peter and the new roomie David for a bit.  There was talk of Smash Bros.  And then I am heading to bed.  I am going to church with ReShale and Katie tomorrow.  Let's see how that turns out.  I will post some vids from Magic Flute when I return to town.
