Week three
Another productive week is finished in rehearsals for farcical "Black Comedy."
This week I seemed to be behind on everything. The cast ran the show twice and we worked specific parts. However I was preoccupied with getting a set built. I finally called a guy that will do a fine job and he is actually taking the time to do it! I can't believe it.
I'm tracking down the last few items of furniture. I know that pretty soon I will have to work on the little stuff. The set decorations that really make the set. I also know that I will have to make little additions to the set like the curtains and stuff.
My set builder is also an employee of the school so he can come in anytime to work on the set. Plus, he is an excellent designer. I'm lucky to have him. I just wish I had been able to give him more time.
I went around looking for props and furniture this past weekend. I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I will survive. I did have a short communication with the manager of a second-hand furniture store. The store was in the Ben Davis area and had the prefeect couch.
I asked if I could rent the sofa for a few weeks and then give them free mention in the program. I couldn't believe it when I was turned down. I guess some deals are too sweet.
Next week will really test all our mettle, because the cast is supposed to have their lines memorized. We'll see.
