Have been so busy with the show that it's been a week and a half since I've updated! With 19 characters in the show, and each kid gets two costumes - did I bite off more than I can chew? No, I will get thru this! In order to see the whole show (rehearsals haven't been a complete run-thru yet) I rented the Broadway video on iTunes. Amazing show! Now I see why Jim loves it so. Had my first costume parade, then my first dress rehearsal three days apart. Jim commented to the cast and crew assembled after the rehearsal that I have done a tremendous job in the two weeks I've had to pull this all together. So nice to be appreciated! It is looking mighty terrific if I do say so! Pictures will follow once the show is complete. One of my costume troves (I rented 4 items from them) is at my college alma mater, where a friend and fellow thespian from high school works as the department head! Small world :-) We caught up as much as we could while still looking at costumes. It's so good to see someone from "the old days."
The 3rd of the latest Bond movies came out so I had to purchase it on the first available day, and watch it that evening. Oh yeah, second-best Bond ever (Sean being first!) And it's also in IMAX on the big domed screen downtown - must watch it there too!
Got to Shabbat services early on the morning when I was to read from Torah (in Hebrew of course), so was blessed with hearing the music worship before it was my turn to make aliyah. The Gabai only had to help me with one word - one I would frequently stumble on so you'd think I would have it, but no - so all in all it was a good reading. Mama was there, and said she always loves to hear me read.
Fingers crossed .... applied for a job at HP, and got a call from the HP recruiter the next day, wanting to do a phone-screen, which went well. Now to just patiently wait and hope that I get an in-person interview with the manager in Sunnyvale.
And because I don't have enough theatre in my life .... heheheh ... I ushered again for Promises, Promises, and got to see all my friends again. And I also got to see Looking Over the President's Shoulder, a one-man show about a real-life butler who waited on 4 presidents from the 30's to the 50's. Incredible performance by my friend James in the lead. And, the junior production of Wizard of Oz needed 4 chairs slip-covered in emerald green (go figure!) so they called me to see if they could use my sewing skills .... just skipping from one theatre, to another, to another .... finished out the busy week by attending opening night of Oz, and enjoying the gala afterward.
