No matter how hard you try to avoid it…. once a month, it comes around…yes, its “that time of the month again”……NO,NO, NOT THAT!!! …. its board meeting time again!! Every third Tuesday, its what we board members live for ..HA HA HA, no , seriously we had a board meeting tonight and unlike so many of the “famous” or “infamous” meetings we have had over the years….it went pretty well, we only shared one cake recipe, no, seriously, we did! Thanks to Judy for the scripture cake, yummy! We stayed on topic I’d say at least 50% of the time, and Chairperson Sue is doing a great job!
Pete gave a play reading committee report tonight and even though the 08-09 season hasn’t even started yet it’s not to soon to start thinking about 09-10, join the group of readers and debaters, get some shows of your picking put on “the list” and start thinking about what part you can play in the up-coming season, and I don’t mean what role you can get on stage but what you can do to make the 54th season one of the best ever, how about supporting a new musical or a selection from American classic theatre. Meetings that are open to everyone are the 2nd Tues. of every month at the theatre, hope to see you there!
It was mentioned that I have pledged to post more on the blog, so I’m taking a few minutes of time to recap the last few days around FCT.
Something’s Afoot rehearsals are going well, the lines are starting to come easier and we are now adding the “bits” that are going to make this show so fun to watch. You may have to see it more than once to catch all the subtle craziness I can add. Sure I would love to have the entire cast at every rehearsal, but that’s just not the way it seems to work anymore, we are all very busy people and so that’s why I am grateful for the time and energy they put into the time that they are there. We have 2 weeks before press dress yet and I’ve seen wonderful things happen in 24 hours so I think they will all come together and pull off one of the funniest and most entertaining shows FCT has produced in alooong time!
There is still much to be done, the list is long, but it sure is fun, if I start to get cranky soon, it’s because I know I’m going to be tired, but I wouldn’t trade it for much in the world! I’m not officially to the “I don’t care” stage yet , so that’s a good sign.
If there is one thing that I think we really need is just more people doing more jobs to make the list of “to- do’s” smaller. Even one hour, once a week from a few more warm bodies would be such a great help, think about it and let me know when you can help the cause and join the fun!
Well, my schedule is kind of tight until Oct. 3rd so I better get some rest, tomorrow brings more rehearsal and tech work galore!
…and now, On With the Show !
