I tried to Blog yesterday but the website had other ideas. Briefly, here’s what we did Tuesday evening. I would imagine Ed Jones enjoys beating the hell out of me. I mean, who wouldn’t? Yesterday things were a bit snippy as Andra, our music director observed. She called us The Bickersons. I wasn’t in a bad mood…just not the the best of moods, but I think we are all feeling a bit of pressure with the shorter rehearsal period, and changes. Scott Bradley, the director has a LOT to do. The brunt of the changes fall on the actual prisoners, or Dirty Dames, as we call them, and they’re all doing beautifully. Abigail Trabue, our new Mary (the ensemble is full of old Marys), is giving it all she’s got too. We cut the cast from 14 to 12, taking out two prisoners. The changes in the cast had to be made as it just made sense. Most people understand this and move on. Others do not… but it’s really a ‘You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t’ situation with them anyway and after the 117th episode of As the World Turns (Around Me), it gets boring and sad but there are no shoulders left to cry on anymore because everybody has run away.
