So, I read other people's blogs and I get inspired and want to write in mine. Thing is, no one reads mine. So it's really more of a journal. But what the heck, I'm writing anyway. So tonight I kind of assistant house managed the first preview of Hallelujah Baby. Mostly I got overwhelmed and confused, and then was put in charge of concessions, then told that I needed to keep track of what I was selling. And that was nearly impossible at intermission when I had to make like 7 hot chocolates, find a bottle opener, try to open a bottle of wine, and try not to run out of coffee. I made $7 in tips. That was cool.
I have discovered that I don't mind drinking coffee. This is a big change.
Mostly, I enjoyed tonight because the final key theatrical ingredient was added- the audience. I loved it! I love being a part of a theatre and seeing every little part that makes it work. From the systems administrator who fixes the computers, to the volunteer that cleans up the green room and puts out puzzles, to the aspiring actor/comic who sits bored in the box office every afternoon, every little job is amazing to me. There is so much going on!
Alright, I'm tired of typing. Good night!
