So I’m sitting in my hotel room on dinner break from our tech rehearsals watching Aaron Rodgers slash the Broncos to death, and I am exhausted, haha. Since we got to Clemson, South Carolina on thursday night we have been in rehearsal 11 hours a day…. Our set is AMAZING!!! It’s the most intricate set I’ve ever been on and the attention to detail is spectacular. Everything down to a real fake ATM machine in the bodega, actual hair products in the salon, it’s crazy… We have about three more days of tedious step by step movement to get the lighting program set, and then we have our first preview performance for a small audience on Clemson’s campus on friday night. It’s just ridiculous that we’ve gone from meeting each other to legitimately show ready in only 3 and a half weeks, and if you get to see the show, you’ll see just how ridiculous an accomplishment that is, since this show is very detailed. But I can tell you that it’s starting to get to everyone as right now I’m the only person awake in my room, with 4 people passed out throughout the room hahaha… Time for me to go grab an Emergen-C and head back to the theatre, everyone is getting the sniffles around here, which is nooooo bueno for me, I have to control notes at the upper end of my register and being sick would make that quiiiiite difficult… P.S. way to blow the game Cowboys… ugh…
Love, Kyle
