Musings During Tech

Hello everyone in Korea who reads my blog (and Megan)!

It's Tech Week for Oresteia.  Thank the gods?  Yesterday I spent 12 hours in a stifling room, in the dark, reading and re-reading this effing script.  I was "on book."  Luckily Andrew was online pretty much the whole time, too, so I had someone to talk to.  And I was able to balance my budget.  Whoo, how exciting.  Today I have Andrew and some photos I uploaded on Facebook, as well as Wiki (and otherwise) research on the Tudors.

Now, Tech Week's 10 out of 12s should mean that we are running with lights and music and stuff like that.

NooooOOOT here!  We've been rehearsing.  Hammering and Fixing!  Things that needed doing, but I wish they had been done sooner.  Seriously, I was so effing useless yesterday I wanted to weep.  Instead I left, as in POOF, ZOOM, yeppa yeppa areeeeba!, at 11 sharp.  Everyone else hung out for Mint Juleps (provided by the 1st AD), I slept on the metro (on the way home, not overnight).

Yvette is REALLY good at layering fabrics.  I'm loving the look right now.

THE SCRIPT HAS CHANGED AGAIN.  WTF?!  WHY??!?  WTF WTF WTF!

I'm ok

sort of.

I just don't understand why in ALL of my positions EVERYWHERE, whY is it so hard for anyone to tell me what's going on/changing?  WSC lost the rights and picked a new show for the summer, ALL without telling me directly ever.  They've picked a new season, but do i have a calendar yet (when I am the one in charge of telling the audiences)?  No.  The script for this apparently changed during the dinner break?  How did i find out (when i am the one in charge of tracking the script and that is ALL I do?) I saw actors with scripts in hand and heard the order of things change as they rehearsed this new and improved opening.  Is it so hard to tell the person in charge of this ONE little thing when something affecting them has drastically changed?  Well is it?!?

Sigh

I should be used to this, but I just am not.

This time next week I will be lounging in Andrew's Detroit apartment enjoying a Pizza Papoli's Pizza and watching Comedy Central.  There is nothing I would rather be doing.

So this music... I'm really not into live drumming and actors trying to shout over it to be heard.  That's just me.  Although I love certain sounds that are not drumming.

And now they're running through the new text and am I being asked to be on book?  no.  Because I'm useless to this project.  This is ridiculous.  I am on book anyway, but come on... between 2 ASMs and me the Director should not be feeding lines!

Why do I always rant?  I want to philosophize, or record my dreams or something... god I'm such a bitter little person!

I should be done with this.  I'll try again later to be nice.  Sorry.
