rode the red horse
experimented with longlining the red horse
spent several quality hours 24' above the stage tying knots
spent several more hours retying knots (see above)
bought gallons of coffee and dozens of donuts to keep techies going
painted
more painting, I can't even remember
mashed my nose with the back hatch of my car (stood too close - really tired)
completely coated my hands with elmers glue in the creation of a bust for the statue
fixed wheels on the statuefour five times
been grateful that my techs are generally cheerful, kind and competent (apparently what I've been selecting for)
also grateful for techs being LOW DRAMA (the actors are....intense)
completely exhausted 4 gold sharpies on detailing things (those things are GREAT!)
aaand the show opens tonight
if tradition holds and a good opening night depends on a catastrophic dress rehearsal, then we will ROCK, because last night - wow it was awful.
Just from curiousity, are there ANY shows that are not racist, sexist, non-consensual, and problematic on so many axes?? Because holy fuck but Music Man hits a lot of buttons for me. between the WawTawNee girls, and the stalking and kissing and slut shaming in Shipoopi (what kind of a name is that anyhow?) it is making me cringe constantly.
