HOORAY!!!
4:30pm opening night.
after a week of tech and dress rehearsals that went amazingly well and smoothly, we are all feeling really good about tonights show.
until the entire sound computer crashes.
the next three and a half hours are spent with our sound designer, technically able-ed friend, and other hands working frantically to literally re-build the computer and re-program and re-work every single sound cue in the show.
it was a task that normally should have taken around 4-5 hours to complete.
they finished with MINUTES to spare before the house went down.
HOLY FUCK.
go sound team!
That's something I love about theatre, it all works out in the end. somehow.
Other than that minor problem, the show went GREAT. I could not be more proud of the cast and crew. one of my best friends, Devin, played Prior. He is only 19, but jesus. he nailed it. he is so talented. Not to discredit any of the other actors out there, because there are seriously some fantastic performances going on, but if nothing else come see the show for him.
we had a fundraiser after the show for The Friends and Family of People Living with AIDS Foundation, our regular charity group, and the rep was there to see the show and thank us. After she came up to Devin and looked him in the eye and told him that he was every friend she lost, her best friends, her closest. She knew him. he was it.
wow.
what a thing to be told.
I guess he got something right.
what a beautiful show.
I am so glad to have been able to be a part of it.
