I spent the night and morning throwing up. I hope it was only a reaction to all the food I shouldn't be eating vs something contagious.

~~~NO-MORE-THROWING-UP VIBES FOR JANE!!~~~

What a way to start Page 7.

Tonight was opening night for Theater Artists Olympia's world premiere production of Xander Layden's The King in Yellow!

George · « **Reply #183 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:06:32 AM »

We had about 28 or so people, including the author himself, Xander Layden!

He lives here in Olympia and has acted with TAO many times, as well as Olympia Family Theatre and Harlequin Productions.

I guess this was a pet project of his that he's wanted to do for quite some time, and now he got to do it.

The audience seemed to enjoy it...of course, some friends and his mother and a couple of her sisters were there, so that helps.

George · « **Reply #187 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:08:30 AM »

But the audience wasn't entirely made up of friends or family.

Last night we had a pretty good run-through, but tonight, we had some never-happened-before hiccups.

Yes, yes, but what did you EAT?

bk · « **Reply #190 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:09:39 AM »

I wish someone would eat page seven, which I do not care for.

bk · « **Reply #191 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:09:57 AM »

A burrito?

George · « **Reply #192 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:10:14 AM »

The major goober was that even though everything looked good on the computer for the sounds and projections, no sound (music, sound effects, etc.) came through at all!

bk · « **Reply #193 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:10:33 AM »

Scallops meunière?

George · « **Reply #194 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:10:45 AM »

Kris the stage manager had the presence of mind to make some sound effects on the fly, but no one knows what happened.

Liver and onions?

Chicken a la King?

Frosted flakes?

George · « **Reply #200 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:12:24 AM »

Gratuitous Post #200!!

George · « **Reply #201 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:12:43 AM »

Anyway, I set off a couple of light cues early, but that was no big deal.

George · « **Reply #202 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:14:05 AM »

FORTUNATELY, Marko, pug the director's husband and sound designer, was able to change a couple of cables and work some other kind of technically theatrical magic and by the second act, the sound was back. WHEW!!

George · « **Reply #203 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:14:54 AM »

The audience seemed to enjoy it, even when it all turned dark.

George · « **Reply #204 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:15:10 AM »

It starts out as a comedy, but doesn't stay comedic.

George · « **Reply #205 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:15:28 AM »

We'll see how the rest of the run goes!

bk · « **Reply #206 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:15:46 AM »

Fried okra?

bk · « **Reply #207 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:16:35 AM »

New notes are up.

bk · « **Reply #208 on:** May 11, 2024, 12:16:46 AM »
