Everyday and Total Eclipse of the Heart has left my brain after a week and a half. Today’s song was…No Sleep Til Brooklyn. Hmmmm… (Magic pencil don’t fail me now!!!)
We are officially in Tech week(s). That means long days of waiting around until something explodes and/or adjusting for cyclone-Armageddon that happens when no one is looking. I can’t seem to “follow along” to the show no matter what brilliant idea I come up. The language keeps getting in the way!! But the show really is spectacular! SUCH a large group of really good actors!
The theater space is raw but there is some real charm and character to it (the back steps from 2nd to 3rd level are 3 pieces of rebar/step. SOOOO scary and yet some of the actresses run up…IN HEELS! *I* hung a couple lights! …on a ladder that has the steps zip tied on! This is Russia!! There were 2 other ladders that fit OSHA standards better but they were being used for more difficult tasks. I wish I could accurately photograph the set up so Casey could see what incredible lighting happen with 400 rubles!! (That’s about $12). It is honestly remarkable. There will be seats for 80 ticketed people for this show, there are 27 actors, 4 acts (1.5hrs ea), 3 intermissions with complete scene changes INCLUDING the seating arrangement, and one location change (to upstairs). It’s epic.
In WONDERFUL news!!!!! The heat came on yesterday!!!!! What a difference! Currently, it’s at a comfortable level. It is now always on and, from what I understand, it will likely get REALLY warm to the point the windows will need to be opened. …we’ll see
The pics are from the sky out my window this morning.
