I never realized how partial I am to jazz sax players.
The entire morning was spent dealing with our problem person, who simply does not know how to play well with others. He was e-mailing the theater privately - they, of course, know the deal and added me to the string saying Bruce must be included in all e-mails as all final decisions are his. I then responded with a simple, yes, the stage manager and I copied on any e-mail sent and that I was not giving up one more INCH of playing space - he of course said basically it is what it is. I told him that it, in fact, that it will be what works for ALL of us and that I'd already given up five FEET of playing space, which is going to make things very tight for us, and that I was through with my comprising and bending. And that there would be no need for any further e-mails. Then he e-mails the sound people on his own - that was it for our producer who wrote the City folks - I, too, responded to THAT in my customary fashion. Our tech guy at the theater came up with two different ways to slightly reconfigure the space and those are the two options on the table. I said I was fine with option two but whichever worked was fine by me. I then reiterated that no e-mails are to go to the tech people without coming to me and my stage manager first, because he just endlessly confuses everyone with his e-mails. His litany of "this is how it's done" is boring and it's not his show - he is sixteen minutes of a two-hour show.
I don't think that it really exists, so I'm going to JoAnn Fabric to see if they have any inexpensive pink fur. I looked online and there's a sale of "UP TO 75% OFF" their "ENTIRE STOCK FABRIC"! HOPEFULLY, they have some pink fur that I can just glue onto a normal pad of paper. We'll see! Be back later.
She has been advised that she is indeed my assistant and that she will be taking direction from me...
Melissa Manchester will be with us tomorrow - so what are the chances that bookending the rehearsal day we have two Harlettes? Melissa was one of the originals, and Linda Hart was one in the late 1970s.
Will TCB or George save the night and get us to page 7?
