Moving Out

Yesterday was our last rehearsal at BW before we move downtown. And since Saturday Night Fever is the last show I am stage managing at BW, it truly was a last rehearsal. I would be sad, if I weren’t so busy. From this point on, it’s all hands on deck to get this show up and running, while balancing the heavy class work that come with being a student the week before finals. I’m literally sprinting to the end.

With all the different plates spinning, I am surprised at how (relatively) chill I am. The show itself is in great shape, with us doing two full run throughs. Having done summer stock, where it is a blessing to run the show without stopping before opening night, we are already miles ahead. This creates a sense of confidence and ease that this show will be ready to open on Friday.

To get ready for tech, I’ve updated all my tracking, created the deck plot for running the show backstage, and all sorts of other paperwork to make sure everything on my end it set. I've also been checking in with Jeff and Charlotte to make sure they have everything they need to begin loading into the theatre. It is interesting to think back to my first show as stage manager at BW, The Seagull, and how much my process has changed. How time flies when you are having fun...
