It’s time to kick my little birdies out of the nest and see if they can fly. I’ve done all that I can for them.

We had our final dress rehearsal last night and, if the old saying that goes, “a bad dress rehearsal will equal a good opening night” has any merit, we should bring down the house this Friday! It wasn’t a bad run, but I had seen better. Some actors were “on” and others were, well, on another planet.

What didn’t go right last night that I would like to see fixed? Well… our lighting and sound technician couldn’t make it, a couple actors “forgot” to bring their costumes, lines and cues were dropped like leaflets over Japan, the set hadn’t been completely painted, a camera and tripod fell over on stage, the smoke machine was unplugged right before it was needed, and there was a complete blackout in the middle of my first scene. We’re gonna knock ’em dead!
