Almost open!

This week has been one of the busiest weeks of the summer, and it will finish when we open two seperate shows, one of which we've put together in less than five days. We've had a lot of half days because of the schedule, and 4th of July falls the day before we open. Things are tight, but I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll be able to open without too many problems. Once we have all five shows open, we'll start getting more free time since we won't be rehearsing.

This morning, the company threw together some costumes from storage and took part in the parade. A board member offered to let us ride in his horse drawn trolley, so we got to sit in the shade and throw candy to little kids. There was a suprising ammount of people in Brownville, considering the population of the town is less than 150. My understanding is that a lot of people from the surrounding area come to see the parade here. Today, I also learned that Jesse James' last gunfight was in Brownville, Ne, right on mainstreet where I walk to lunch everyday. I think every midwestern town has some obscure Jesse James' story, but I guess this one is actually verified.

Happy 4th of July!
