Membership Has It's Privileges!

I'm sitting in the auditorium watching all these young and eager actors work thru our tech rehearsal for the show. God bless them! Our set is GORGEOUS, and huge, and heavy! And I don't have to lift a finger to help them! Well, I did volunteer my services, but being that I'm an Equity actor, I'm technically not supposed to do any set changes. So here I am, finding a lot of time on my hands today...perfect time to catch up on blogging. We had our sitzprobe on Sunday night and I almost peed in my pants with excitement! We have a 17 piece orchestra! That is unheard of in regional theatre, and some broadway theatres even nowadays. What a thrill it was to hear the FULL orchestration back up our vocals! I mean.... we even have a harp! I must say I wasn't expecting much when I arrived in Idaho, but what a pleasant surprise it's been! Can't wait to see all the elements come together this week.... more to come!
