El Centro, here I come!....wait....
So I leave tomorrow morning, because I need to be at the highschool at two, and I want to find my way around between the hotel and the school first. More on that possibly later. Brian is already out there this week, I believe, and I have no idea if Ron is or not. (Director and Musical Director). Jack and I get out there tomorrow for the first time, to work on Shipoopi for three days. (Just when I thought I finally had those songs out of my head, too...) The lighting guy doesn't go out there for awhile, I'm sure, and it doesn't sound like Debbie (the Stage Msnager) will be for a little while. The amusing thing about this whole "Staging Music Man in El Centro" thing, is that I am also going to be the costume coordinator. Granted, this doesn't involve nearly as much here as it does at MV, partly because I'm just pulling costumes from the warehouse, as opposed to finding/making them all, but it does seem fairly odd that I can't quite seem to get away from the costumes/choreography mix at highschools. Hopefully the pattern will fold soon! For this week (only Wed-Fri, really), I'm taking the supplies to make 40 bracelets for Godspell, and the two caps I'm supposed to be knitting. That should give me plenty to do. I'm planning to use the next two months to get Godspell roughed out in my head, and thecostumes roughly designed. Then, if there's tasks I can take with me--cutting out a skirt, making jewelry/accessories, etc. I will take that as well. Somehow, I have the feeling this might be a long couple of months...
