Opening Night
Well, as I've gushed before ad nauseum in this blog, this is an exceptionally talented cast, and opening night was picture perfect. The house was mostly full, but it usually takes a week for the word of mouth and the publicity items to kick in. It's a good thing we're adding those Saturday matinees beginning the fourth week.
The show is incredibly well paced, if I do say so myself. Aside from clocking in at almost EXACTLY two hours running time, the time flies by quite graciously. Hopefully, that will add to some repeat viewership.
I "relaxed" on Saturday and built the new mini piano for ...Charlie Brown. We were unable to find the original costumes (or the props), so I'm going to have to make them over the next several nights prior to opening.
The daily updates will probably taper of drastically for this blog. I'll be seeing the show at least once a weekend and probably giving some entries for those, but I also don't want to taint what has already been set in clay.
I will be starting a new blog chronicling the development of Godspell. I'll post a link when it's ready. I'll also migrate the Tech Director's Blog from where I had it over to elitetheatre.org as well.
If you haven't already, please come see our wonderful show.

It is good to hear everything worked out well. The part where a director lets go of the creation is always hardest for me. Not because I love taking notes and am constantly wanting to give feedback, but because my work is done and yet the creation progresses and evolves. And yet I find satisfaction in that I am able to step away and see the collaborated work as it was meant to be seen (something you can not get when your understudy covers you, or when you see it through the lens of a camera).
