It's Showtime...Almost

Well, the show opens on Friday. Last night, I began to think this thing might go off without too many hitches. It's that point that every person in theatre arrives at (hopefully), usually just before the curtain opens.

Don't get me wrong; the production staff is doing a stellar job pulling things together and the show is going to look spectacular. This is a huge show with many, many parts and, as in any show, we always wonder if we will be able to pull it all off.

But, the Fates have smiled on our little venture and we will open on Friday with a show that will knock their socks off.

I have new pictures to post, but Blogger is having a "moment." I'll try again later.

I think tonight I am going to sit out in the house when I am not on stage and take more pictures. That, or I'm going to call my friend from the paper and ask him to come and shoot us tonight; just for "fun." Personally, I hope he says yes because I still struggle with shots in the dark. Maybe I'll have time to take a photography class one day. ::guffaw:: Sure. .

  3. Yes, you are my newspaper friend, silly. :) I didn't call b/c I didn't find your website with your phone number until AFTER I sent you the email. It worked out just as well that you didn't come tonight b/c the paint was still wet in places and they didn't want us in costume; just in case.

    Tomorrow night is invited dress and you are, of course, invited to come and watch. Next Wednesday we are going to do a full run-through rehearsal w/hair, makeup and costume and would be a PERFECT time to get close-up shots b/c we won't have an audience and you could move around in the house at will. ANYWAY - come and see the show tomorrow night. You can be my guest.

    I LOVE your website, by the way. What amazing pictures.

    Thanks for the tip about the photo class. I had no idea. I really love photography and want to improve my skills. You give lessons? ::grin::
