Hell, er, Tech Week...
Well, it's that time again. Things are coming to a boil with Shakespeare on the Mountain, and it's starting to get a little scary. I had to replace one of my actors this past Thursday. And, to further complicate things, the show is running about 20 minutes too long, and I can't seem to shorten it any, which is not good. I'm going to have to look at the script today and make some more cuts, from the look of it. It would help if I didn't have the majority of the actors fumbling around during the second half of the show too. Here's hoping they can pick it up - we open in 6 days!!
As an organization, Theatre Huntsville has been less than helpful with this show. I know SOTM has always been the red-headed step-child, getting pushed around from rehearsal space to rehearsal space, not being given any sort of assistance whatsoever, and this year is no exception. I never ever recieved the Director's Packet I was supposed to get a YEAR ago. If they want me to follow any of their stupid procedures, it's a little late now; I can't follow what I don't know. Heck, I still haven't heard if my budget proposal has been approved - so I'll take that as a yes. Silence is acquiescence, is it not?
Anyway, all you LJ folks better come and see the show! Support Daskolos and me - God knows we could use it...
