Annie Tech week

     Wow. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am with this show. We are officially t-minus 2 days from Opening Night. Monday after getting back from vacation I was a little anxious and nervous to see what had all happened while I was gone. Honestly, I couldn't have been more pleased. Cues were spot on, the energy was through the roof, and the lines were memorized. My fellow director gave everyone a standing ovation and announced that "we have a show!" Everyone is so thrilled with each others' work and it's showing.
    I have been officially named the "Orphan Wrangler" by fellow staff as I will be the one keeping the kids in their dressing room and giving them their cues. No pressure... I'm beginning to enjoy my part as the "masked announcer" more and more every day. My simple line of "And Jeanne Johnson; radio's only masked announcer." has been getting a lot of laughs which I appreciate!
   We worked on curtain call tonight which is always my favorite part of any show. I love the aspect of the whole cast and crew coming together as a community to recognize everyone's hard work and absolute dedication. Knowing we all have this one common interest in the arts is pretty wonderful. One more rehearsal, and then it's show time!!!
