Dancing at Lughnasa, the current Little Theatre show, will close and be struck tomorrow, and as of Monday the theatre will be (mostly) ours. (We still have to hold two more rehearsals offsite next week, to accommodate the Readers' Theatre series for its tech rehearsal and performance). But we can get started on Monday loading in the technical elements of the show, and it's a welcome landmark in our journey. Three of the four flats are complete, thanks to Jayne's wonderful labors, and I can't wait to see them when we go to pick them up Monday morning. And that will leave us with four flats to finish, the assembling of the flats, and a few other set pieces to construct. Not to mention painting the floor and hanging the lights and completing the props inventory, and setting the sound and light cues, and figuring out how to create the sound of gunshots live, and numerous other odds and ends that make the last three weeks before an opening such an exhilarating and slightly chaotic ride.
We're pretty well organized and know which tasks lie ahead, plus I've made it mandatory that everyone pitch in to help for at least four hours next weekend, which will enable us to finish a tremendous amount of work, with our big cast and all their relatives!
