Opening Night!  A fabulous success.  I was bouncing and giggling in the audience like a daft three year old.   Seeing items you've spent dozens of hours working on in the space of a week onstage is just a thrill ride.

The Zombie of Zombie Prom  just discovered that he has a prop with his face on it.

Some of the props I've made for the show.  These are booths for a school festival used at the very top of the show.

Going into Hell Week, the final week before a show opens, for the show I've been prop designing, Zombie Prom.  Here we see some amazingly talented kids heading into the play's climax.  With song.  Aw yeah.

And here, some of the ones who made the fall amazing and this trip worth any price.  Conservatory bros forever, yo.

And here the theatre where we did our final performance, now packed for professional productions.

Nothing like familiar places - the theatre that acted as classroom and rehearsal space for so many months.

And now, time for a mini-vacation!  I'm going back to my Massachusetts second home where I spent all last fall to hang out with my old friends and see a bunch of Shakespeare.  As evidenced by the above tickets.  Here's the spread: My favorite show, my least favorite show, and the only that always surprises me.  Can't wait.

As much as I love theatre, musicals aren't usually my thing.  However, seeing the closing show of the local musical theatre festival's My Fair Lady definitely is.  (It's one of my favorites.)

Kids in Zombie makeup singing show tunes.  It doesn't get much more mad awesome than that.

My most recent prop attempt!  This is a cake - a cake made of pizza boxes and spackle.  And it is, in fact, a lie.

This is the tail end of a bunch of cloggers I saw performing tonight.

Oh god, I'm in a show AGAIN.  This one is called Crazy/Busy, and it's been the most fun I've had on a stage in a while.  33 plays, 55 minutes, and I act and wrote a piece for it.  We do it in conjunction with this other fabulous piece that's actually going to Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival.  Which, for those of you who don't know, is a big deal and pretty awesome.

This was my project for the day - thirteen corsages, handmade with silk flowers, ribbon, and a tiny but powerful glue gun, all done for the sake of the show I'm currently working on.

My boy just closed a show.  Here was the set for it - gorgeous, isn't it?

My theatre's season announcement party happened last night.  The next year is going to be amazing.

Tonight marked the end of the run of an amazing show that I was lucky enough to play a part in.  I'm going to miss it, but lord - it went out with a bang.  

~*~

May 6th, 2011

This may be hard to believe, but this is a theatre.  A black box theatre, actually.  And it's currently my theatre.  Because the show I've been directing, that I've been working on for three months or so now, is opening tonight in this space.

Show time, baby.

The show I'm in is wrapping up tonight.  These dry roses are from opening.  Time to move on to the next project!

Souvenirs from last night's performance of Alegria by Cirque du Soleil - my boyfriend and I went and it was fantastic.
