I was at the school until whatever time last night tacking and pressing each of the pro-co girls 2nd act dresses and they looked great tonight. I was really pleased. Except with Miranda who kept futzing with hers and ripped out the one shoulder strap. Safety pins are magically delicious, thank goodness. The long gowns looked absolutely gorgeous. I could tell from in the wings that the sparkle was the wrong pattern, but the Mrs.s G & R said they looked WonDerFul from the audience and it just looked like it matched. There was a minor panic at intermission when Jack came and told me he couldn't find his gray satin shirt to go under the purple suit the guys wear in the 2nd half and I know for a fact there aren't any extras of those, no is there anything of a similar grey that we might have been able to find in time to get him on, but luckily it was just on the wrong rack in the guys' dressing room (which smells nauseating despite the three heavy duty air fresheners I put in there last night, the two febreez air affects bottles I kept thrusting at them, and the fact that they didn't have more than one pair of shoes. I swear to God that I trained someone to be eyelash fairy godmother (i.e. the only person in the company who can put pro-co girls' fake eyelashes on them) before I graduated. I swear that the next year after I graduated, when I found the chaos that was the girls trying to put them on, that I trained someone to do it then. I know since then I have thought about, and meant to train a relplacement because I WON'T ALWAYS BE HERE - but here we were tonight. A line 14 girls deep who all needed ME to put their fake eyelashes on. I just can't figure it out but I REALLY need to train a replacement, or at least a helper!!! I'm hoping that for Kitchen Kettle Village/Hershey next weekend that I can shang-hi Aline or one of the other two sophomores into being taught to get the feel for it because This is my 8th year doing this in a row and it's my last. When Brett graduates I am so no longer doing costumes, or make-up, or robes or any of that nonsence. 8 years in a row - 4 of my own, and 4 of my brother's are enough for me, and for my mother, and for my father.
The Queen decided at intermission tonight that she doesn't want to wear the red jacket for the second half tomorrow but a silver one instead. I fail to say why on earth she needs to change directing jackets at all during the program, but though I may now be a minor noble as opposed to the serf and then assistant I once was, I still don't get to tell her to take a chill-pill.
