Out of the woods…
Posted in FanGirl, Friends, Life, School, Theatre, Work on 08/07/2006 02:02 am by KatieThe actors are leaving tomorrow.
We had techie cabaret last night, where tech staff performs for the actors, and it was pretty darn awesome. I had a solo, which everyone said I rocked out. I was pretty proud of it. I wish someone had taken video instead of just stills. I also wrote a song, which a lot of people liked.
After techie cab, Ella (one of the actresses) and I went for a very long walk, just hanging out and talking about everything that popped into our heads. We have a lot in common, and a lot not in common. Honestly, I just hope she doesn’t forget me. I feel like we bonded completely. Same goes for Abby (also one of the actresses). I’m a little bummed that it took all season for me and the cast to warm up to each other, because that means it’ll be easier for us to not keep in contact, but I guess it’s better than not warming up at all. Ben told me last week that he wanted me to follow him around and be his personal dresser. Honestly, it’s one of the sweetest things anyone’s ever said to me.
The costume shop has had a rough summer. I think the cast likes me a hell of a lot better than the staff does, mainly because of the bad image the costume shop has with the staff. I know we’re not very good, but Greta and I are brand new at this and it’s a little disheartening to feel like nobody on camp cares about us at all. Obviously, that’s changing a little with the cast now, but again, they’re leaving tomorrow, so fat lot of good that does us.
Anyway, enough feeling left out. It’ll be back down to crew and the five-person cast for Ain’t Misbehavin’ tomorrow, and maybe we’ll get close again like we were for the first few days of the summer before the cast showed up.
And then, it’s just three more days until our contracts are up, and I’ll be home Friday. I’m not going to lie, I’m so excited. I can’t wait to get back to the way things were, and get back to school.
And then two weeks later: DRAGON*CON! So excited to see Jason and Chris and Julius and David! Things are gonna ROCK.
Okay, I so needed to be in bed four hours ago. Night, everyone.

I love theatre, and enjoyed reading your blog.
I have a theatre blog of everything I’ve seen since I moved to LA (link on main blog). Rarely meet others who love theatre in blogland, though.

I was totally in Atlanta this weekend. Not for Dragon*Con, but for the Bodies Exbit. But, we definately passed the hotel for DC a bunch of times. I tried to call you to tell you that we were in the same town, but the phone number I have didn’t work. :( Oh well, maybe next time.
