Its play time again!
For those that don't know, I've been active in theatre for the better part of the past 9 years. I started out as an actor, but lately I've settled comfortably into the role of tech (running the light board, which I hate, or doing backstage work, which I love). I'm also known as a total nazi when given authority over the backstage; I can't help it if I take my job seriously. :)
Anyway, I'm doing another show, Cherry Orchard, which is being produced by Act One (like that means anything to anyone outside the Nashville area). I've finally started going to rehearsals, so my spare time in the evenings is getting consumed by the show. We open on March 5th, and close the 20th. I'm ASM (Assistant Stage Manager) this time around, which means I get to be a nazi. Huzzah!
I also get to work with some friends, too. The director I've known for a while, and my friend Multi-Bob is in the show as well. I'm also working with another Eric, who I already knew as a friend-of-a-few-friends. Then there are the two lovely ladies of the show, Olivia and Holly, who are both very cool (but then again, I'm rather biased; cute girls who laugh at my jokes are always very cool). All in all, I'm happy to be doing the show; not only does it get me out of the apartment more than I normally would, but making good friends is always a good thing. :)
