Hello all -- back from my day out on the town, with a tech and rehearsal for our Fringe al fresco performance under our belt.
Just for everyone's info, I'll be going up in "Bukowsical" as the lawyer for next Tuesday's (Aug. 14th) 10:00pm show, as well as our closing show next Saturday (Aug. 18th) at 3:30pm.
It's a shame, for a moment today, I had a glimmer of hope that I might get to step in for one of the guys, when he and the director got into a big row. During our trip meeting last weekend, our director and tour manager said to leave today, tomorrow, and Saturday open - as we have our tech, two of these al frescoes, a 6 hour rehearsal, and our opening night. However, when we were debating whether to have our al fresco rehearsal tonight after our tech or tomorrow before the al fresco, said actor made us all aware that he not only had a concert that he needed to be at that he had to leave for right then, as well as having a meeting with an ad agency tomorrow morning with his brother until 1 (when we have to perform at 1:30).
He and the director stuck behind to "talk" while the rest of us made our way to the place where we were practicing tonight (which he was absent from), but they didn't tell me to prepare to step in, so...damn.
