Who Needs Sleep? I Do!
I just woke up after eleven hours of sleep. Yep, eleven. I guess I needed it.
On Friday we opened Dangerous Liaisons at HPU, the first show there for which I've acted (am acting) as Theatre Manager (which might be better titled Production Manager) as well as lighting designer. It was a long week, getting ready for our opening and I kept wondering if I was forgetting to do stuff. I don't think I did, at least not anything that was important! We had a very small preview audience on Thursday night, but the opening was very well received and I didn't leave the reception/after party till about midnight on Friday.
Then, on Saturday, I was at Hawaii Theatre from 8 a.m. till about 10:30/11 p.m., doing the lighting for a pre-Merrie Monarch halau performance. It was a nice show and I always like lighting for hula, but it was still a long day. Then, I drove back to HPU because it was our director's birthday and it would be a good thing to be at the party after the performance.
Yesterday (Sunday) I was at Hawaii Theatre again for a load-in from 8 a.m. till 6 p.m. It was fairly straight-forward and didn't require too much extra thinking on my part (which was good as I'd had two nights of not enough sleep!).
I got home, ate some dinner and watched some tv. Then I was in bed by 8:30 p.m. I woke up at 7:30 a.m. this morning. I guess I needed the sleep!
