"That's not funny, Heather ---- I mean Tiffany."

So the play was last night, and it actually went well! Last night I was very nervous before the play and then we actually started getting into it, I felt better and more at ease. Opening night is always the hardest, and it is now over!

There were a few mess-ups though, as you can see is the title of this blog haha. We have a power point/ slide show kind of thing with pictures that are supposed to represent the time elapsed between the first act and the second that shows how close everyone on the "staff" have become. When we got to the second song of the slide show, I was afraid the music might run out and I was really scared, but it didn't, so it was all good. Mrs. Berry came up to the light booth after intermission and was like, "OH MY GOODNESS. I THOUGHT THE MUSIC WAS GOING TO RUN OUT!" Mrs. Berry was already super nervous so we were like, "It's okay, Blueberry. Chill."

The last scene, when Wanda is cleaning out Darby's desk, I kind of messed-up, but not really. Wanda was taking FOREVER cleaning off the desk and we have three light changes for that one part alone. It goes from full back lights, to dim, to dark. I had on the full back lights for a long time and I'm turning to Marley going, "I need to turn it off, really. Nooo, really." and Marley's telling me to wait but I do believe she would have sat there for another five minutes had I not turned the lights out on her.

And then there are the dogs. We have two dogs in the show and they don't get along - at all. So we had to keep them in Mrs. Berry's room until the time. I do believe that was the most stressful having to tell them, "WE NEED THE DOG!" and them running with the dog so that we could have them on stage on time.

So this blog went in about five directions about the play, but all in all, it was good. :D
