When I got back, they were ready to start an actual run. Most of the second act was still missing, but it wasn't difficult for the actors to adjust to what was(n't) happening.

We did a full run of the show and got through it without any great mishaps. A couple of set changes got missed (and quickly fixed), and one actor went up on his lines (not horribly, though), but it went relatively well, all things considered. I really can't wait to see the whole show in all its glory! It's going to be really good.

We ended at about 4:45 pm, and I and a couple of the actors had to leave because we were involved in the reading at Olympia Family Theater.

We all assembled an hour before the The Alphabet Caper started and ran (for the first time with the entire cast!

) most of the group numbers. I didn't run my two songs (one solo and one duet), but we should've run the duet because the woman I sang it with and I had never actually sung it together.

Anyway, the audience was let into the theater (it was quite a nice sized crowd) and the writer made his announcements explaining what was going on, and we started the show. For the most part, it went quite well. I'm not in love with the show (I think a lot of it is too sophisticated for the target audience), but the audience tonight seemed to really enjoy it.

My duet wasn't perfect (I goobered a bit), but we got through it. I also had a line that I didn't highlight, so I didn't realize that I needed to continue with a speech, but since the actor in that scene didn't speak, I finally realized that my line actually continued! SPOO! But I think it actually worked, dramatically (that's my story and I'm sticking to it

).

We got a great response from the audience, so the authors were please. There was a talk-back after the show, but I was driving my friend Margo home, so we didn't stay. I hope that went well.

Definately a long busy day.

After I dropped off Margo, I was hungry, but wasn't interested in making something at home, so I went to the Wendy's close to her house. She just wanted to go home, so I went and brought my Kindle in. I ate and read and then came home, fed my cat, took my evening meds, and now will ketchup on the rest of today's posts.

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page five.

Not my idea of a way to spend a Sunday.

Do you get more work done going in on a Sunday?

The work I had to do stemmed from something that came up after 4 p.m. Friday and relates to a meeting taking place at 10 a.m. tomorrow. If the change outlined goes into effect as is, I'm quite possibly screwed in my ability to do my job effectively. My supervisor needed us to get ideas to her as to how to deal with this and so we would be able to present a united front, as several of my co-workers could face the same. Since my area right now outperforms their two areas combined (I also have Krista's workload for the next five months), it would have less effect on them, but would still have a negative impact. It would also really have a hard impact on our writers.

It did help that nobody was in the office today and that the free Starbucks machine was working.

Oh, my goodness! Good luck, John!!

I'm now going to watch last night's Saturday Night Live, with host John Mulaney, who co-wrote and starred in the recent Documentary Now episode that spoofs the documentary, Original Cast Album - Company.

I don’t have much to say tonight.

TCB · « **Reply #140 on:** March 03, 2019, 11:26:00 PM »

I bought some Girl Scout Cookies.

TCB · « **Reply #141 on:** March 03, 2019, 11:27:33 PM »

Tagalongs, of course.

TCB · « **Reply #142 on:** March 03, 2019, 11:28:21 PM »

I haven’t opened them yet.

TCB · « **Reply #143 on:** March 03, 2019, 11:30:40 PM »

I would open them right now, but they are in the kitchen and I am not.

I am in bed with a sleeping kitty next to me.

I bought some Girl Scout Cookies.

What a coinkydink! Yesterday at the Alphabet Caper rehearsal, there were some girl scouts selling cookies just two doors down from the theater space.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** March 03, 2019, 11:40:03 PM »

The other coinkydink is that my sister just happened to call me when we had a break, asking if I would go to Fred Meyer to buy her some girl scout cookies. I said that I'm downtown and there are some being sold right here! She said, "get me one box of each!" I confirmed that she really did want eight different boxes of cookies and she said yes, so I bought them. When I went to her house after yesterday's Bunbury rehearsal, she was very happy (and she paid me back).
