Let Me Have My Vacation
Jun. 10th, 2021 08:45 pmA work-filled weekend for both of us.
More work for Jameson than me.
Thursday is opening night for Encore's production of Head Over Heels, and Jameson is the Music Director.
Every night he comes home with horror stories about the sound and lighting techs that the theatre provides (at like $20 per hour), who are apparently incredibly unhelpful and incompetent. I believe it. The number of times I've been part of a rehearsal which was held up because the sound guys were fiddling with stuff mid-rehearsal, or the lights were in the wrong spot at the wrong time, I absolutely believe it. Rehearsals are frequently (though not always) more about wrangling tech than working on the show itself.
That aside, it sounds like rehearsals have been going well. From what I've seen online the costumes are VERY quality, and the choreography is pretty complex. I'm really, really excited to see the show on Saturday! And it goes without saying, I'm very proud of Jameson for rocking such an important role and bringing everyone together to put on Encore's first major production since the pandemic began. I hope they sell loads of tickets. I hope everyone enjoys the show, including the performers.
Meanwhile, though, Jameson has run-throughs all week so I'll barely see him.
On Wednesday I got up earlier than I would like in order to begin Bread-Palooza.
