Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fun and good, and now it is time for you to post until the fun and good cows come home.

Aaron, our director, said that Lynn’s son was there, but I didn’t see him.  Anyway, her son or someone told her they were going to drive her home, but actually were going to drive her straight to the hospital.

Eventually, we continued the show.  The first time there has ever been a three-act version of YES VIRGINIA.

Remembering last year when our daughters' school decided not to perform an INSTRUMENTAL ONLY version of "Baby It's Cold Outside", a knee-jerk CYA reaction to news about Harvey Weinstein's sordid behaviors. I posted to Facebook about the absurdity of this, and suddenly everyone was chiming in, a runaway train of ill-informed women taking issue with the song.   "Rapey" came up, courtesy of a gal in Seattle.

BK cited tried to explain what the song is really about, to which she retorted he was "mansplaining".  Another invented, derisive word.

Glad this wonderful song is going to be performed.

Yes, Charles Nelson Reilly was "The Mouse" and Karen Morrow was "The Wolf" - it's pretty funny.  It was done that way in Neptune's Daughter - first with Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban doing it the traditional way, and then later with Betty Garrett and Red Skelton with the roles reversed.  It works whichever way you do it.

Well, today is going to be a day.  At noon, I have a union meeting, but I'll probably have to leave early from that to go to my rehearsal at 1:30.  I think the meeting will go longer than that, but it's okay that I have to leave.  At least I can be there at the beginning.
Title: Re: THE FUN STUMBLE-THROUGH AND THE GOOD PERFORMANCE
Post by: George on December 02, 2018, 01:48:34 AM
Rehearsal was originally scheduled to go only until 4:00, but they asked the cast if they could add rehearsals, and people (including me) said that 4:30 to 7:00 would work, so this week and next we'll also rehearse from 1:30 to 7:00 with a half hour break.  We open in less that three weeks!

I remember, when I was a child, my mother sitting at the dining room table paying bills, weeping and fretting over not having enough money in the bank to cover them all.  I still don't know how my parents managed a household with two, then three, children on my dad's construction worker salary.

This morning, just as I threw a glass full of water into the bathtub to rinse it out, Annabelle decided she wanted to jump into the tub and roll about.  It's something that gives her great pleasure.

She ended up getting the entire glass of water on the side of her head, and that ended her bathtub excursion.  With my luck, I'll be charged with assault.

Kind of like several Portland schools, named for a good family called Lynch that donated money for them, that were suddenly politically incorrect.  Turns out the word Lynch comes from a judge Lynch and the name upset people.  You can imagine how all the people in the world name Lynch feel about this.

So far in this movie, Sinatra has sung with Groucho and again with Russell. The only one to get a solo so far is Groucho. And the humor isn't exactly top drawer. But it's set on Christmas Eve, so I guess it's a Christmas movie.

I'm at rehearsal.  The union meeting was pretty informative (I'm quite out of the loop from what was being discussed), but I had to leave that to go to rehearsal.  It's all good, though.

At rehearsal today, we found out that we lost our director. :-\ He was having some personal family issues (we were not told what), and chose to be with his family.  The rest of the staff certainly supported his decision.

Fortunately, he had been talking with the other staff and left a lot of notes about his concept for the show (minimalist, like Our Town).  The choreographer will finish the staging based on his notes (she's an experienced director as well as choreographer) and another person has been brought in as another pair of eyes.

Otherwise, people (actors, staff) are not concerned about the state of the show.  All of the adults are experienced actors, and most of the kids are really doing well.  I'm sure that they'll all be good by the time we open. :)

Sunday evening greetings!  Fr. Richard subbed at a church in Dayton this weekend that has services at 5pm on Saturday and 10:30am on Sunday.  I stayed home yesterday and made vegetable beef soup to have ready when he got home.  This morning I got up at 6:45 and went with him.  He was pretty exhausted by the end of the service, so we picked up sandwiches and came home for lunch and recliner naps.

Ushered for the Nutcracker again tonight. It was the last of the performances. I was stationed next to the stage, which was great because I was right next to the orchestra pit. The music from so close was thrilling. And the dancing was just fine. Funny but the ballet audience is quieter during the symphony than the symphony audience is.

The Kritzerland show was really terrific tonight.  Sadly, can't say the same for the matinee of A Carol Christmas, which made me actively angry.  After one really great show (Friday) and an almost-great show on Saturday, several in the cast basically took the show into the toilet today - flubbed lines, lyrics, low energy, and the fact that they cannot stop themselves from doing it is kind of amazing to me - in my acting days if I felt we weren't getting through to the audience, it just made me amp up my energy until we got them.  Unfortunately, we had a critic today - heaven knows what he'll write, but I suspected he wasn't going to like it anyway - he didn't like Levi either, and this is a guy who LOVES everything that he sees.  So, tomorrow the cast will get a group e-mail from me and they have next weekend to pull it together, or we will have what they don't want to have - pick-up rehearsals until I'm satisfied.  Because I will not have a repeat performance of what happened today.

No.  Our choreographer is taking over the staging, and a young girl (not so young, she works at a bank) who went to a high school for performing arts and had directed some stuff is coming on.  I don't know if she will be credited as director, or if they both will, but we were told that it'll be directing by committee.  We'll see how it goes.

And Lexi is actually going to resign as artistic director of Broadway Olympia Productions.  She's pregnant again and I guess is having a hard time juggling everything.  She wrote on FB that she'll "serve as the Artistic Director through till the opening of Wedding Singer."
