This is the big week!
That's right folks, it's the week we move into the Imperial and get ready for the show! Cabaret opens on Thursday night, but our first audience will be Wednesday with the student dress rehearsal. I huge thank-you to Andrea C for telling me to book Monday to Wednesday off work. Whew! Talk about busy!!
Friday night was a run-through of the whole show (well, with the CD player) and Saturday was a day off for the cast, which meant a few of us could get some things done. I ran a few errands in the morning and then took a break to go to Richard's opening for his short film, "Dead to the World," which I had done some special FX makeup for last summer. That was a fun outing, and I enjoyed the trailers for the Savage brothers film and Richard's next film (which I'd worked on with Alex). I then headedd back home to Cabaret stuff.
Sunday was another full day as I tried to help here and there with getting things moved and set up, but didn't feel like I was in the right place at the right time for most of the afternoon. Then at 3:30, Jenn unlocked St Mac's for me so I could tape out the set for our run with the band. I was home around 10:30 and was exhausted. Long day and I knew Monday would be....
Monday. 8 AM at the Imperial as the scaffolding company came in to set stuff up. I stuck around to help as I could and ran out to get a couple of things. I took a break mid-afternoon to pop home and grab a couple of things (including food - yes I wound up getting pad thai) and headed back to the Imperial. I left the Imperial at 12:15 AM after a long night of cue-to-cue where we slowly made our way though half as much as we would have liked. That being said, I think tomorrow thigs will go a lot more smoothly, as both Darik (lighting) and I can get a few things done, each on our own, before the cast call for the evening. Still, it'll be another very long night.
Despite the length of the day and the slow speed of things happening, I have to say, I am just plain ol' happy to see the set actually looking and working like I had in my head. Industrial and versatile. Darik's lighting and Kiki's painting certainly help!
Now - to sleep and dream the night away - no doubt my dreams will be filled with cue calls.... :-)
