Mar. 20th, 2005 06:52 pmAnd another show bites the dust. This means I have a semblence of a life until the NEXT show rolls around: auditions in May and show in July. And maybe I won't have to go to the rehersals! Unless I'm Sound Girl again and then I'll need a month of practice but will only get two weeks...
And the tech and backstage crews got flowers. And the actors. Which is really odd because normaly only the director and assistant director and so on get prezzies. Of course there was less than twenty durring the whole shebang they sprung for cartatins for all of us.
For once, strike went well. There were only two incedents where things fell on people and neither case even is going to cause a bruise. And since we had NO wheeling platforms, mucho thank god, it went rather quickly. I skiped out before the end, but that's just because there were plently of people left and the only thing left was to load the truck to bring the stuff to the warehouse.
But there's just one person who's just drivig me and Audry up the bloody wall. I dont' know if it's because there's about 30 years age diffrence between us and Beth, or we're just really flippiant and exgaggerate too much, but we just grate on each other's nerves. Yesterday when we where cleaning up everything I went upstairs ten mintues before they opened the doors to put on the music of 1961. Except the cd player didn't work. So I checked everything and got Dorren (who is lord and missress of the theater) to help me fix it. And the monitor was on the fritz as well. So we messed with it and got it to work but just incase of electronic faliure we hooked up the portable cd. By this time the public had entred, but for love of all that is good and holy, it's BACKGROUND music. So we pulled the sound down a couple times but everything hooked up good. So I came backdown staits to the green room, so I'm still kind flustered about the sound situation, so when I sit down I accidently knock over a empty can. And they tel me I should proably clean up, so I go about cleaning up around the place, picking up the pizza boxes and so forth, and then they tell me to turn off the movie because they need to focus. When I still have everything still in my hands from cleaning and looking for a place to dump it. So I'm doing three things at once and they're still telling me things, so I'm even more flustered so I tell them I'm a little scatterbrained at the momment. Did I also mention they're asking why things aren't working propely while we were fixing it? And then Becky tells me I need to focus on what's going on upstairs. I know all my cues AND we have a cue caller. I'm already focused, I'm just doing stuff until I need to be focused. So after I crush all the cans I'm better. Increddibaly carthric thing, that can crusher.
Getting back to today, they pull up Beth, Becky, and Patty, and I *jokingly* say to them that everything is already finished. (They brought their truck load of props home) And Becky takes insult at this and tells me that they brought therir props home already because they didn't want to do it in the dark, and there was already a ton of people left to help. And snarkly said that two of the actors had already left too. Which they had not, they went with Steven to the warehouse to unload props. Then I myself left, because all there was left was loading and they were all sitting around except the two people mopping. And they didn't need me, sicne there were still twenty people still.
And she's gonna be on clear com next show proably. Which means there will be no snarking on the clear com. If she had been on clear com this show... there's some pretty long streches were nothing goes on. Eli was taking naps durring the first act beacause he did nothing for more than a half hour. In the second act, there's one scene where no one does anything for thirty minutes. From a tech standpoint, it was a verry, verry boring show. Funny, but after 15 times it's not that funny. I read two books durring preformances. No, I was not very sad to see this show end at all.
