It's pretty difficult to put on a show with no lights, so they canceled this evening's performance. It seems the power went out at the theatre around 4:00 thanks to a mischievous construction crew working on a near by street. The stage manager called me to let me know the show was off. While i'm grateful i'm not wearing my dance belt this evening, it does leave us with only two performances remaining (assuming they get the electrons wiggling again).
I didn't even get to enjoy my night off. Instead of going to Spectrum, i went to Civic where we had rehearsal for Comedy of Errors. (They were kind enough to offer us space to work. We won't be performing there.) We started rehearsing on Monday so it's been a crazy week. So far its a completely different experience than Lady's Not For Burning. We're really playing with the script and the director is soliciting our suggestions often on what type of show we want to put together rather than just telling us what to do. I've never been involved in a process like this before. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it.
