Countdown to Opening Night
We've come a long way from sitting in Tommy's basement joking about how fun it would be to be in a theatre company run only by teens. We've gotten grants, rented spaces, rehearsed a main stage show, and spent countless hours calling everyone we could think of to come and see us perform. The most exciting part of all this is that, finally, we open Thursday night.
All this is not to say that we don't still have things to do. Chelsea and I spent the better part of tech rehearsal yesterday (when we weren't on stage, of course) making lists of things we still needed to get. Costumes, props, box office paperwork, and rotten tomatoes all made the list. It's getting down to the wire and, although we're more than confident that we will present a complete and polished show on Thursday, it is amazing how many things you take for granted when someone else controls your production.
This has been such a great learning experience for all of us, and we're so proud of the work that we've done so far, even if we still have some work left to do. Keep checking back to the blog, i promise to let you know how opening goes.
much love,
Zoey and the whole YATC crew
