02-09-22 A must see show!

February 9, 2022

Today was a blur of books followed by media preview night at the theatre. And WOW, the guys knocked it out of the park. I am so dang proud of this whole team. Months of work have culminated in a piece of art. I only wish Annie Baker, the playwright of The Aliens could see how they brought her vision to life. The first audience, albeit a small one can be daunting and they pulled it off. Tomorrow is dark Thursday and then Opening Night on Friday. I admit there is a part of me that wishes I were running the tech for the whole run as I am so enjoying doing it. For the first time tonight after adjusting a few things before the show, I was able to hit all the marks. I guess you can teach an old broad new tricks. It has been decades since I ran lights and sound back on Salt Spring Island. The gear is so much better and the options to create effects are splendid.

Anyway, that’s enough about the show. I need to come down from this happy high, have my tea and get ready for a busy day at the office tomorrow. Good night.
