There are still a billion (much smaller) details to do and I'm stuck at home ... waiting for the phone to ring for two phone interviews about the show, scheduled between 10 and noon.
Don't get me wrong, it's great that we're getting some press, but there's so much more I have do ... props, costumes, lighting cues, scraping together rent by 5pm tomorrow (and not the show Rent)...
This week, my hump day will be Friday.
I can't do anything the normal way.
The Poptimists itself is really coming together nicely. Between most of the costumes and adding the band last night, I'm very happy with where we're at.
The cast looks frighteningly like the group that the show is based on. I'll put up a few rehearsal pictures when I get some from my assistant stage manager.
Ticket sales are not going as well as I had hoped. We only have ten compressed days of performances (with Monday off), so word-of-mouth will have to work fast to result in ticket sales for the rest of the run. And of course, you never get the empty seats back from the first weekend.
But everyone seems to be having fun with it, and it's a fairly short show, so only about three of we staff members are really tired. The cast seems peppy -- exactly what the show calls for.
Well, back to waiting for the phone to ring, from the people I want to talk to, that is. I hate screening calls, but sometimes Life puts you in a position where other people call you, too ...
Yes, this week, my hump day will be Friday.
It'll be real interesting to see where I am then ... in a number of ways.
Now ring, you stupid phone! I've got stuff to do!
