Summer Lovin with PA

So last night again went very well. We had one little slip up- but the tech staff will fix that for tonight's performance. Last nights cabaret was delightful. There were a few i was like huh? but thats okay.... its better then all of them. Laura was amazing! So was Jon. They did a really good job with the song.

We went to sheetz because we cant not go and came back to the dorms and played a game of scrabble. I was the score keeper until Matt decided to go to bed and 'we' ended up winning the game. I think we should have a team match in the dressing room. I love that our space plays scrabble and the other group sings, dances, and stampedes upstairs. We are so quiet in our own little world which is loverly.

We are having a laundry mat party this afternoon-- this should be fun- I am so used to doing my laundry by myself---

I start rehearsals tomorrow for Rebound and Gagged-- No show Monday night but we have company preview of the Taffetas on Tuesday- I dont know any of the music so it should be interesting to see.

All is well- the sun is shinning after last night amazing storm... Ready for a new week!

Second Night Fun!

So last night went extremely well-- No major issues just little toning things that will help with a goods day rest-- haha... like that will ever happen.

The cabaret performance was good last night, but i am looking forward to seeing Laura perform at Disney night tonight.

We went out last night which once again was real fun... I like the professional world for college is already old and i am over the party environment there.

Short and Sweet today-- off

Opening Night Success!

So everything went extremely well last night for opening nigh! We had a sell out performance which was great! The crowd was good which defiantly is a plus.

We then had out opening night party which was nice and then we headed to Uncle Alberts which was relaxing and fun for all of us to hang out and celebrate the opening of the show. A trip to sheetz to complete the evening! and then a little off the beaten path drive to journey- thanks to Kate's CD.


I love everyone in my cast-- they are just great people to work with- I hope the rest of the groups are as great as this first one-- but they have a lot to live up to...

Its my job to keep this show is order now-- this is technically the first time that I have been handed over a show completely because usually the directors i work with are locals-- hmmm...this should be interesting- I promise to get some pictures of the theatre space and all

Now that show #1 is open i am ready to start with the new show---
















Life is good in PA. A nap was in order today but it didnt happen....I think I am gonna need some coffee to get through the show.... but that fine because i havent been drinking that much since i got here...

Thats all for now---

Opening Night #1

So tonight is the official opening night of the Foreigner. We had the senior preview night last night and the night before the company preview- They both went very well. I made a few mistakes but nothing major that i wont get right tonight-- I dont know why i missed the props that i did but oh well--- I have the master list now and i will be fine.... The more challenging stuff worked much better tonight after having the rehearsal in the morning to clean up the Cues.... I am currently running 6 different machines in order to make cues happen. An Expression Light Board, Laptop, Sound Board, DVD/CD Player, Toggle Switches for Practicals and House Lights.... There are some very interesting positions and hand movements that i have to do in order to do some of the cues...but thats the fun of the game.

I am bringing my camera to the theatre today so i can get some pictures online for y'all to see. This weekend i should be able to take some out and about because I hope to get out and about for a while.

I am enjoying life in PA and life in the theatre but the little time we get off this weekend will be nice....

Thats it. peace

I guess Tech Begin

So tech work begins today.... By Monday we should be in tech rehearsals which excites and scares me because I am running both the sound and light board-- oh wait i have done that before...but this time i dont have to mix mics and instruments!!!
I am ready to get the show going-- we are in good shape we only have about 8pages of fine toning to do and then we will be running the acts-- and then the show... We have company preview on Tuesday and the senior preview on Wednesday. This cast has been so great to work with.... It was a great way to start out the summer. Everyone is great- I have finally got to meet some of the other techies which is great because i have been in my own little hole for the week- A large black hole-- What ever it is all good- It is a very fun space to work in... i cant wait to get the tables out and see the space looking more like a theatre and not a rehearsal hall.
I am a little nervous about Rebound and Gagged because it is the show that i know the least. I know Sylvia and Educating Rita is only two people so i feel like that will be a breeze when it is all said and done...
Well I am off to work on lines with some of the cast... leave lovin...

Week #1

Yeah! I get a minute to relax and post something.

So the road trip to PA was a blast. It didn't feel like it took me over 11 hours to get here. The trip was fun...hanging at Kendra's for the cookout was a blast as well. Visiting with Nana and Papa was also nice because it has been a while since i had seen them but they will be down before i know it....

Everyone here is so nice. The theatre space that i am SMing in is very interesting. I will take pictures and post them as soon as I can, but i think i will wait until the set is in there and the space is ready for a performance because right now it is a mess....but inst that how it always goes.

I cant believe it is Thursday Night already.... this week has gone by so fast as i assume the rest of the summer will. The days are long but the people are great and there is no where i rather be then here right now.... (except maybe abroad... but that will be here before i know it).

The cast that I am working with is absolutly wonderful. They all have a great sense of humor but are some of the hardest working people that i have meet. I really havent worked with the other tech staff so sometimes i feel like i am a little on the outside especially because they were here a whole week ahead of me...but soon enough (saturday) we will be on top of each other for a while.

The area that we are in is Beautiful.... there are mountains and rivers and lakes everywhere... and as i crossed into PA and "Aint no Mountain High Enough" was playing (have no idea how that happened) it was sooo nice to know this will be home for the summer. The weather has finally broke a little and it is cooling down which is nice because the weather was so hot and annoying the first two days...but the theatre let us turn on the AC which was real nice because i think we would have all melted....

I am glad i made this choice and it is only day 4... yes there are some frustrations but no matter where i ended up there would have been some....so life goes on and i find a way to get over it...I smile for the day has begun and frown for another day gone....but know that each day is another piece of history in my life.... I am glad that life has taken some of the twists and turns that it has... So as i look forward to the straight line that this summer brings i am ready to have some adventures and challenges to show me a little more....

I am excited for tech to start and for this summer to really start and take flight...

Thats it for now....

Goodbye :)

Today will be my last day in Maine :) I am so ready for the real part of my summer to begin. I leave tomorrow morning for Rhode Island. Lunch with Nana and Papa and then I will be hanging out with Kendra. Its only been two/three weeks but I am so ready for things to get started for the summer.

I am really excited for the drive! It is my first time I am taking a roadtrip and by myself... I cant wait to listen to the CDs that all of my friends made me! They should be good...and entertaining!

I wish the weather was a little better because it is raining and windy once again... i hate this bad weather and cant wait for good weather.

Well thats it for now...
Midge

RI again...

So this weekend was as lazy as they get....

I didn't do all to much... I went to Wal-mart 3 times in 24 hours which is pathetic...I helped mom go flower shopping...

Saturday Adam and I hung out which i miss all so much all the time.... It was good-- we rented Juno which none of us (parents) had seen. It was cute... Not as good as i had heard it was....

I went to Rhode Island and back today once again with dad. It was a good trip. Great weather.... but it is making me itch to head to Pennsylvania even more.... Saturday morning and I will be on my way :)

I am almost done packing-- but could be ready if I wanted to but it makes me nerves itch more to leave....

I worked on selecting classes for Ghana-- there are so many details to finding classes that will transfer and what i want to take....

Tomorrow is full of errands all around the twin cities and such... its really the last day i have to get stuff done so i am gonna run around like crazy--- hopefully nothing will hold me up to much because i want to spend as much time with my love Chelsea....we are gonna do dinner and go see Sylvia :)

Sorry this was all over the place.... but thats it for now....
