It's funny how in the space of less than 2 hours a show goes from full performance to history. Nothing left but an empty stage that once held the show. This afternoon Jim is returning stock scenery and furniture pieces that we repaint or adapt each show to the warehouse. We added to the stock scenery with this show by building furniture and some walls that will now be cycled into youth shows.
The stage is being readied for the Footlights troupe shows which perform next Saturday and Sunday. The following week is the big Fundraiser onstage and then 3 1/2 weeks later the Sugar Bean Sisters opens. The first read through of Sugar Beans is tonight at 7 pm. Story Theatre troupe will start rehearsing soon for the spring tour and auditions are next Monday and Tuesday for the Secret Life of Girls and as of that point we will again have 3-4 shows in rehearsal at the same time. When we planned all these shows I didn't realize what a marathon event it was going to be. Of course part of the marathon was caused by the ice storm which moved the auction back into March. Moving the auction was only made possible because we postponed Having Our Say.
I'm please to say that Ramona Quimby sold out the final two performances of the run. A general note for everyone about sold out performances is that generally we can always get several people in even when we are sold out, because there are always audience members who end up turning in tickets because someone in their party couldn't attend. Saturday afternoon we got 12 people in at Curtain time and Sunday we got about 15 in at curtain. We are looking for crew for Sugar Beans and Wizard of Oz. If you think you might like to do this contact Marsha Cash.
