Final Dress

Well the rubber is finally meeting the road. All the work that has been done up to now, begins to gel and a performance is born!

There has been lots of communications between me and the cast; me and the crew; me and the executive director of the Wayne Township Education Foundation; me and my family; and me to me. Each one of these relationships must be fostered with appropriate communication of expectations and an honest assessment of the outcomes. I am primarily concerned with the communication between the play and the audience. It is a comedy so I want the audience to laugh and have a good time.

We have polished the show but there are still some rough spots. We are staying after to correct the problems. The other issue is getting all the props and making sure the set is painted and decorated. This is falling in my lap because no one else is doing it. I've had help from the actors but they need to focus on the show and their lines. This is my problem and I will deal with it.

The process gets harder on my wife and my parents because they are taking care of Luke while I am taking care of theatre stuff. My classload is light this semester, but I just added to ISU classes, including the Comm 495 project. Things always get hairy during this period. It's expected but it can be stressful.

We open in two days.
