Melody was in Godspell, Junior tonight, and she was excellent! *applause* There was a really big turn out for the show--obviously twice as many people as they expected showed up, and people were frantically pulling chairs of thin-air and fetching shoe-horns. Rachel and Daniel were having trouble finding chairs (unoccupied chairs, that is--chairs ( Read more... )

So, The Phantom of the Opera? Could not be more over the top and I LOVE. IT. I love that it is covered in sparkly things and extravagant sets and exuberant lighting effects and PYROTECHNICS and completely overwrought, bi-polar emotions. I love that it is this Big Thing with crashing music and people singing over each other and did I mention the ( Read more... )

I'm not sick anymore, finally, although I am still congested, but at least I didn't get the puke-your-guts-up bug that's going around (yes, it's been circulating through the Shakespeare cast, which is not good, because we open on Thursday and tomorrow is dress).  Wash your hands, people!  And take your vitamens ( Read more... )

YAY I'M HOME ( Read more... )

Aaaaand I finally scanned the picture that I've been working on forever. Little details = pain in the rear to ink.

"And when the wolves come out of the walls...

Gosh, I wish I were in Edinburgh and could see the stage version of Wolves in the Walls.

Yay!  Little Women is over.  Hurrah for the great cast and crew and all of ( Read more... )

I am going to DIE.

I'm going crazy. I'm standing here solidly on my own two hands and going crazy.

Costume parade is tomorrow night, one bodice is put together and needs to be finished, three more need to be made, lots of hems need to be put in, lots of bodices need to be adjusted, trim needs to be put on, closures, etc.

But we're ALMOST

Well, I broke Mom's Bernina, apparently--I exacerbated some problem with the gears that's been affecting the bobbin winder, and now it's just caput. Go figure. But tomorrow night after I get back I'll be able to get into the theatre and work there. Other than the whole breaking-it thing, though, Mom's sewing machine is a dream to work on after the ( Read more... )

Today I called every single thrift store in the Fort Worth area. I found two with petticoats in-store, and two more that thought they might have petticoats, but for some reason couldn't go check for me. I bought one petticoat, plus two pairs of boots, and discovered after some confusion that the other store was actually in Mansfield, which is ( Read more... )

WeirdcrazyWTC--I get back to my room at 12:30, after leaving the costume shop, and there's a scrap of paper on my door (tucked into the top of the wipe-off board) listing a couple of generic things (like 'debit card') that are in my wallet.  WTC?  no explanation of any kind.  But nothing is missing from my wallet, which hasn't been out of my ( Read more... )
