Tech week is upon us!

Yes folks, this is tech week of our show. Actually we open Thursday so things are a tad hectic.

Nuncrackers, as you might have guessed, is about nuns. So we have to wear habits. Last time we borrowed our costumes from another theater, but this time they all had to be made. The reputation of the director/costumer/set decorator is one of procrastination, and thats the nicest way to put it. So do we have our costumes? no. Well, at least not the whole thing. Tonight we had the head piece to work with and can I just say that when the costume is on in combination with the stage lights the temperature in the theater rises like 1000 degrees. But...most of the songs are solid, there are a few forgotten words but that's no big deal. We're together on the dancing and my sister says we're hilarious, but I think that's only because she knows us and knows what's supposed to happen and what actually does happen.

I guess I'm excited about the play, I haven't really been into it this time around and I think it's because 1) the pressure of finding a job, and 2) I'm just burned out on this theater/director and ready to move on. I'm finding it hard to let go though and hope that when this play is over I'll feel free to spread my wings a little and maybe step up to the next level of my life. It's getting a little stagnant I think.

On a different note, I saw Rent today with my sister and we were the only ones in the theater. It was possibly because it was Monday at 1 pm but that's cool. I was all excited about seeing this movie because I loved the stage show and the soundtrack so much, but I was highly disappointed in the whole thing. I was ready to go in the first 10 minutes and needless to say I won't be adding it to my collection. I guess die hard fans would buy it, but I'm not one of those, contrary to what my sister says. Just because I know all the words to every song doesn't make me a freak, it just comes naturally.
