This is the schedule.
Monday - First Technical Rehearsal
Tuesday - Second Technical Rehearsal
Wednesday - 8 AM performance at the school, followed by final "clean-up" rehearsal
Thursday - Opening Night
Friday - Regular Performance
Saturday - Afternoon Matinee
Technical rehearsals involve setting up all the wireless microphones, the lights, the timing, the stage piece movements, and testing the costumes and makeup to ensure they are going to work. Unfortunately, we're still working on the choreography for the three dance numbers, so we'll be trying to do a lot of tweaking to the show at the same time.
Have you ever tried to convince middle-school girls that they don't look silly doing a dance that does NOT involve a kick-line? For some reason, they keep bringing it up, hoping I'll let them do one (which they did last year in Beauty and the Beast Jr.) Somehow I just can't see the prim and proper Major-General's daughters doing a kick-line. Nope.
Then there's going to be the fun of handling the forgotten lines, the missed solo cues, and the ad libs. I can't wait to see what the kids come up with when someone forgets their lines.
Then there's the set itself. I'm still not happy with it, but we don't have any time left to fix it!
I've obsessing about this show for the last three or four weeks, to the detriment of practically everything else. I hope I still have a job when it is done!
