Trying to keep the lid on the full blown jar of crazy, y'all.
Chalk it up to playing three distinctly different characters. I'm feeling a touch schizophrenic.
So. Tonight is preview night. Basically, it's final dress with an audience. Yet, there IS an audience, so it's not like we can go back and call do-over if something goes tragically, horribly wrong. And good lord have mercy, there are just SO MANY THINGS that can go wrong in this show, that I'm forcing myself NOT to think about them, and focus on the really, really great rehearsal we had last night.
The rehearsal we had after we got mid way through Act I and started over.
Yikes.
It was like gasoline on a fire, y'all. The suck explosions just got bigger and bigger and bigger. And bigger.
Yet, the second time around, it was a thing of beauty. So, yes, focusing on the second, beautiful bit and not on the first enormous pile of suckage.
The thing is, this show is FUNNY. Really, really funny. The tech gags are funny. The sound is funny. The actors are hilarious. I'm even mildly amusing at times. This is not one to miss. It's even family friendly. Bring the kids. There are a few very mild profanities, and I do swear in German, but all in all, a good time for everyone. There's action, romance, slapstick humor, a couple of handfuls of different accents, and poking fun at every Alfred Hitchcock film ever made.
But in a completely respectful way. *cough*
So, yes. If you're in the Texas panhandle, come. Call for show times and tickets! (806) 355-9991. You won't be disappointed.
We promise to be an extra 25% funny, just for you.
