Opening night of Dearly Departed is finally over. Everything pretty much went off without a hitch (at least i didn't screw up). They played to a theatre about half full, but the crowd graciously showed their appreciation with lots of laughs. Opening night crows tend to be more theatre savvy and catch more of the subtle humor.
We're getting pretty good back stage. We're running around most of act one thanks to all the scene changes and props; then when act two comes around, we just sit around. Our fun stage manager, Mary Jo, is preparing a crew competition each night and the winner will receive one of the extra prop Dilly Bars. I lost tonight challenge because i went apparently as up on my GR Civic Theatre trivia as the rest of the bunch.
The week of rehearsals leaning up today has been killing me. For example, today i got up, went to work, then school, finally the show, and then i return home sixteen hours after i left. I just run out of time to do the dishes in my sick, to clean all the dirty laundry, and to buy some groceries. I can't wait for the weekend; i'm looking forward to chores.
