We had our final dress rehearsal today for Fuddy Meers. I need a vacation.
Don’t get me wrong. It’ll be fine. But, as with every show I’ve ever directed/produced, I invariably lose more sleep and weight during the last four weeks before opening night than is medically advisable.
The show will be great. I can’t remember the last time I was so eager so to see a production be performed in front of an audience! I think everyone is really going to like this one. Not that they didn’t like the others, but this show is much more accessible than our usual fare. Sure, it’s got its share of violence, mental disorders, drugs, stroke victims, and bacon, but it’s much less offensive than the shows I usually choose. I’m looking at you, Durang.
Here is a lovely write-up of our show from this month’s Barcelona Metropolitan magazine:
I took tons of photos this past week of our set construction/final dress rehearsals. Here are a few goodies:
We open on Saturday and the first show is almost guaranteed to sell out. That’s in five days from today. Now all that’s left is to paint the sets, find some missing props and costumes, locate our makeup person, glue the gun back together, print the program, design the lighting, and have the actors learn their lines. Get your tickets now! You won’t want to miss this.
