Tech week, that is. Saturday is the Sitzprobe w/ the orchestra and Sunday is load-in, with the cue-to-cue that evening. Tech week! When the theater magic happens! I'm practically bouncing in my seat as I type, looking forward to seeing all the costumes (mine is navy) and the set, seeing how much luck I have projecting to the back row in my low register, finally being able to set spacing because we'll have the actual doors, "houses" and so forth. There'll also be a "green room sweatshop", so I'll take my sewing machine to the theater along with the rest of my gear come Sunday.
I've always loved tech week, but for some reason I'm particularly excited about this one. Maybe because this is my first role with this company? Maybe because I'm psyched about the set & costumes? Doesn't matter; gonna be fun. Even better is the fact that I was able to take the week off work, so I'll be able to sleep in after getting to bed late after rehearsal every night.
TW is getting involved too. He's already been out to the scene bay twice to help with the set and plans to help with load-in Sunday morning. He's also planning to usher the last performance, then stay to help with strike. What a great guy!
