Today was move in at Washougal Community Center. Which just so happens to be a good 45 min drive from where I live. This meant that a 9am call time turned into a 8:15 leave time which pointed back to a 7:15 wake up time. This is a hard thing for me so I was pushing myself. Arriving at 9 put me on the set team so we spent a good few hours lugging lumber and carrying crates into the theatre. Not only were we carrying things, but we also needed to build our giant staircase. And by giant staircase I mean a huge staircase that will incur many dances.
Once the sets were constructed for the most part I had to prepare for my makeup instructional. This basically meant I needed to get all my things pulled into my dressing room. Fortunetly the guys get the best room in the house so we had plenty of mirrors and lights to use. For those that have never applied stage make-up, it can be a little unnerving to try and apply that much to your face.
Having learned how to correctly apply the eyeliner and all that business, I realized I had a few hours before I was I was needed, I started to relax. It was then it hit me – Between work and rehearsal I was going to have no free time this week. There was still a handful of things I needed to buy, mainly under armor shorts. Frantically I started asking around where I could buy a pair. I was directed to a bike shop in a nearby town. Upon arriving at said location I proceeded to inquire upon their shorts. It wasn't until he asked what kind of biking I was doing that I started to backpedal(u see wat I did there) I quickly mumbled something about not really biking and shambled away. He offered another store as a suggestion for shorts. My cruë and I hop back in the car and off we go. The next stop offered great many things, including the shorts in question.
Upon returning to the theatre we hopped in our show shoes and proceeded to walk through the whole show and fixing spacing issues.
These are the breaks
