Things have been busy at Cotton Hall AND are busier still today. As I sit here at the computer, I am thinking of all that I am supposed to be doing, and I've been asked to help with a new project-- AGH!!!!! (Although, I am not stressed out about this show-- which is new for me-- generally during the final week of a show I would be losing hair and sleep over unfinished projects.)
So........ in defense of my time... I will give you the briefest of brief run downs of what's happening with James.
LOBBY:
We have some awesome moms with this cast. Last night, there were five or six (and my sister, a non-mom) who were charging ahead in the lobby. They swept and they swept and they swept some more. Together, they moved a HUGE wooden display case, and ton of heavy coke fountain drink canisters, and a pile of luau decorations for the cast party.
SET:
I have to say this-- at the risk of bragging-- but I love the house that we have made for the evil Aunt Spiker and Sponge. Its not Broadway impressive, but it suits me just fine. We've also been working on other things of course, but that has been our biggest project so far.
COSTUMES:
Betty Murdock and Kathy Strickland rock! They have got the costumes rocking! I think these are some of the best we've seen so far!
REHEARSALS:
Last nights rehearsal was a little bit sillier than I would have liked, but since Saturdays run thru was awesome-- I figured I would let them get the silly our of their system. I've been really impressed by the physicality the bugs have been working on with their characters. Aden knows exactly where James' emotion is at-- somehow-- with every line. And Aunt Spiker and Sponge are hilarious. (Possibly upstaged by their hats.) And everyone else is doing a phenominal job on their parts too!
Signing off--- there's a peach to build---
