Well, the best laid plans - we were supposed to have our entire cast tonight until we got an e-mail from the gal who's been gone since SUNDAY (mom died). Her plane was delayed, she got in at one and decided she was too tired to rehearse. These people just don't get it - how it impacts the show and everyone in it. Doug wrote her a strong e-mail about doing it because she should do it, to which she replied, "Wow. Just wow." Good thing that reply was not sent to me. And so a key player was once again gone, but we made the best of a bad situation and did the run and there were some good things done, I gave notes, cleaned some stuff up, and that was that. The errant and truant actress will be with us tomorrow and every day thereafter. I told everyone that after Monday, when we have one person missing but someone to cover her, that there will be no more excuses, absences, or lateness.
