Well, here we are.
It’s been pretty cool actually rehearsing for the presentation!
It’s funny because for so much of the program, it’s easy to lose sight of what we’re even doing, but you get in the room and there’s nothing like it.
I really especially loved our music director. She’s just so smart and asks all kinds of awesome questions, and makes great observations.
I’ve had great actors. And even though someone did have to drop out after getting Covid, so we couldn’t get away unscathed by the pandemic that rages on, we are still making it through to the presentation.
It’s been nice nice after such an isolated pandemic to get in an actual room with people acting and singing, in person, in real-time together, on a real stage.
The one thing I particularly loved about this – I wrote a very silly, kind of on-again, off-again love story where the audience gets to choose the ending. And the audience actually chose both endings!
In the afternoon, they chose having the couple stay together. And at night, they chose them being apart!
I was so happy to see both play out on stage. And the actors were giddy with me.
Also, this was so sweet. They got me an ice cream cake for my birthday!!! Isn’t that so sweet and adorable?
So, we did it. Presentation in the books. Then yesterday, I did the table read of the full-length. Now, I just give my final deliverables, and I’m outta here, baby!
