Tech is Over!

Hello!  It's another beautiful day in NYC.  

We wrapped up tech Saturday night, took Sunday off, and start invited dress rehearsals tonight. Open on Thursday.

Tech has been a lot of work.  Tuesday through Thursday we were at the studio from 2 until 10. Friday and Saturday 4 until 10.  We moved from our rehearsal space to our performance space on Tuesday and, of course, the space is just a little bit different.  OK, a lot different.  Pretty much all of our blocking had to be changed.  The room is narrower and longer than where we were working so everything shifted slightly.  But it's all good.  Once I erased all the previous blocking directions from my script and was left with only those we're actually doing, everything finally made sense.  We did our only complete run though Saturday night and it was kinda surprising how well it went.  The last scene was still a little loose cause we've only done it once... but no one committed any major gaffs so overall I think everyone was pleased.

Afterwards Toks, Jeremy, Ien, Kate, and I had beers at Hooters.  We discussed how the waitress's dolphin shorts don't ride up into the... well, you can figure it out. 

Had a voiceover today for Ethan at Speakeasy in Baltimore and we had some ISDN problems. Tomorrow I have an audition for Ramona at Gilla Roos and I get to play the ukulele.  Sweet! It's getting overcast here in Bryant Park and I'm hoping it's not gonna rain.  But then again, so what?  The D express is right here and it's a fast blast up to 7th avenue.

On to invited dress!

Adios.
