And STRIKE!
May. 11th, 2015 07:28 am(well, that was annoying. wrote up an entry, went to preview it and it went away. So I get to retype. whee.)
Yay! DB's last show is over. (Well, there's still a concert and a parade, but those won't require as much familial support. There's also a recording trip to Lansing with the Symphony -- the orchestra teacher is the subject of some local PBS show, and there've been camerapeeps running around all year.) The show went well -- no major trainwrecks, although there was a fair bit of people forgetting lines or throwing them in out of order, but not bad enough to throw actors out of the scene entirely. The kids, in general, spoke too quickly for the unmiked house, but were generally intelligible. DB and AT (as leads) did well, although they could have slowed down even more. Dogberry was quite intelligible, but he's such a doofus that it didn't really matter. As is usual for a Shakespearian comedy, there's a lot of physical humor, and DB is quite good at that. The watchmen got lots of laughs as they jockeyed for position.
The costume worked out pretty well, I think:
although I probably could have made a bigger size. The capelet really emphasized some of the stompy/swirly bits in the next scene.
This week, I get to catch up on all the things that l had to let slide while I was busy with theater. yay. Lots of weeding to do (the east garden is overrun with dandelions :( ). But not until tomorrow -- today it's foggy and still chilly, and I do have rehearsal tonight. And the first day of strike this afternoon -- I'll take in the leftover snacks/water from GreenRoom, and a hammer, and help with that.
