Three Days!

We're down to the dwindling numbers now! THREE LEFT! What a relief! What a surprise! I suppose we knew this day would always come...but that it has actually come is another thing. We found out nearly a year ago that we would, in fact, be going to Edinburgh. To describe this feat to people when the project was so far in the distant future felt strange...like describing a dream that seemed "so real." And yet, here we are about to leave. Here we are - GOING! There is some victory in that. It's like we have made it to the top of a hill we never thought we would get to climb. We are surrounded by blessings.

Today we're looking at the breakdown and set up of the set. We have ten minutes to get into the theater and set up the show. We then have an hour and a half to perform the show, assuming we start on time, and ten minutes to break the set down and get out so that the next act can get in and set up. We're going to divide tasks and time the set up and break down to make sure we can get in and out of the space in ten minutes. After we cover the breakdown bases, we're also going to work any scenes that feel wonky or need polishing.

After a good, long lunch break, we'll reconvene at 6pm to run the show again. Our faculty member and Broadway sensation, David Lowenstein, has graciously agreed to come and support us by watching the run through. We're grateful to have him.

This is short and sweet with candy and love,
