Show Week Costume Mishap!

Since I'm the only stagehand backstage, I have to run props and costumes to actors. No big deal, all the actors double-triple check their costumes and props.

Well, for our third show, which was this morning, an actor forgot one of their costume pieces! Since there's another room with extra costumes that haven't been used, another actor and I looked until we could find something similar.

That was on stage left. I had to cross over to stage right for a set change, then had to go BACK to stage left to grab that costume for the actor, then back to stage right. All in a day's work, I guess.

Don't ever hesitate. Reblog this. TUMBLR RULE. When you see it, REBLOG IT.

Some of my friends had suicide scares in the past, and one of my friends had one quite recently. Keep the flame spread the tag.

Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide. 

Found a bot that had reposted some stuff, but following way too many people. so i just blocked them to be on the safe side.

Production Update

Bought a tape measure and a carabiner on the weekend so I didn't have to borrow the director's. This one is even better, and lighter. Why did I not think of this sooner.

At rehearsal, the Stage Manager, the Sound Designer, a few actors that volunteered and I all painted set pieces for about 2 hours. We had to do it outside because the director claimed, "It's a beautiful day!"

I mean it didn't rain but still! Anyways, I got paint on my pants so now I have a trophy to show anyone who asks. Will also have to paint next week, just doing the sides of some flats and a few touchups. The director only told me once I started panicking that 2 of the vertical flats I thought we were painting we actually aren't using. Good going, director!

Anyways, rehearsals are actually going better than expected, so hopefully the actors should get off-book soon.

My friend is collecting interesting coins so I looked through my coin jar and found some cool ones, like a lot of Quarters from the 2010 Olympics. We will do a trade deal tomorrow.
