The hat trick

Yesterday we jumped over three hurdles, so I went to bed feeling really satisfied. First, we solved the problem of the too-big flats with a solution that will not only work great for our play-within-a-play conceit but will greatly reduce the amount of labor yet required to complete our set--from seven painted flats to four (three of which are already done)--yee-ha! Second, we decided to mic the two leads, and can do it without spending any money, thanks to Eric and his huge inventory of sound equipment. I think we're going to lick the perennial problem of the sound balance in the Little once and for all with our new sound design--yee-ha again! And finally, we blocked the scene changes for the entire show last night, a necessary if tedious and at times maddening exercise, and were out of there by ten--a total yee-ha!!
