Play Madness

Well, it really is mad.

I should be in bed right now.

But I can't sleep. Even though I'm exhausted. The play is tomorrow, and I need to help set up and be there by eleven, and church is at ten.

You know, this is the second marathon I've run now. Helping run a play is like a marathon, only a mental one. And trying to be in sync with everything and everyone is a hard thing to do. But I'm managing, I think. To recap, I'm going to have a best moment, worst moment:

The best part of tonight was just that the practice went really well, and people took things seriously, which I think will help them tomorrow to deal with the pressure. (No clue if Brennan will deal with the pressure properly. Goodness knows probably not.)

The worst part of tonight was that I sweat a lot, and I had some pretty rank BO. I think the deodorant I'm using just doesn't work, and I'm really mad because normally this never happens, and I try really hard never to be the smelly kid, and I totally had a smelly kid moment tonight. And tried to be all 'cool wid it.' People throw apples at smelly children. I'm this close to being appled.







Here are a few pictures from today:



Stage step one.




Stage two.







Stage being taped. (And it's funny, because I actually knew how to do this.)






This is Karolina being funny. She was the "Video Killed the Radio Star" Angel for an hour or so. She's in charge of costumes and set design. She did a really good job.



The only thing I would have changed about the play right now is the backdrop curtains. We forgot to get new ones, so we had to use uber ghetto old black backdrop curtains, and it's pretty grade three. But there's nothing doing about it now, and as long as it functions, we'll be ok, I think. I'm not sure if I'm cut out to be stage manager, but that's what I'm doing, and that's what Colin and I had decided that I would do when we started this crazy thing.

Well, it's almost 2 in the morning, and we started at 4pm today, so I should probably get some rest. I'll let you know the deets a little later how the play went.
