another international sensation
Well, we did our show yesterday. We almost did two shows, but that was a saga in itself. The theater festival management changed our schedule so many times our heads may never stop spinning. Argh! We started out three weeks ago with just one show at noon. Fine. Then they added a second one at 1, same venue. Oh boy! Then they changed it to 1:30, at which point it started to be a problem for my scene partner, who needed to get out and rehearse another show. Then they changed it to an outdoor venue at 2:15. Oh, the angst! And last of all, as I found out on the morning of the Big Day, they changed it to 2:50. Which was where my scene partner drew the line and said No, it cannot be. So we blew it off and were happy with our original one show. I was relieved. We'd never rehearsed outdoors,and I never felt we belonged outdoors -- it just isn't that kind of show. Besides which, the one show we did do went about as well as it possibly could and we were all thrilled, so why mess it up with something that's likely to be a big letdown? All's well that ends early, I say. I hugged everybody and told them how great they were (which was absolutely and utterly true) and went off with my mom for lunch and a repeat viewing of the new HP, which we liked even better the second time. Yay!
