Today I am working 1/2 day, then attending the technical rehearsal for the Airport Appreciation Days Radio Show - which happens tomorrow night....then a full dress rehearsal of SEE HOW THEY RUN.All in one day. Last night we did Act Three in about 35 minutes - it is the longest act of the play. We then did it again - and one actor decided to skip three pages.I was waiting by the door to make my LAST entrance in my underpants when I heard it happen.....I thought SOMEBODY would get us back on track....but after a couple of beats everyone just kept on. The director had said that there would be NO prompting....to get ourselves out of trouble if we had to.....and I had to get "upstairs" to get back into my clothes.....so at a random moment, I just opened the door and ran through the scene. Everyone stopped for a moment....made no comment....and just went on. Hopefully that will NEVER happen during performance!But we are finally in sight of funny!The second run thru even with three pages gone ran 39 minutes.....which is a mystery.
So ... somehow I have gotten myself into a pickle. I have to give a talk to a bunch of people (mostly kids) this morning. How did I get myself into this?
Greetings from Toyland! I am listening to John McGlinn's wonderful recording of SITTING PRETTY. It is truly a gem.
