FINAL PERFORMANCE

The Music Man will be over in an hour or so. We are leaving it "all on the floor." I believe that is theatre talk for giving it everything you got. It is probably bad luck to say too much at this time.

It has been a great adventure. At first I didn't know how I was ever going to learn those lines. Well now I will never have to say them again. Some time in the future I bet I will listen to the DVD and sing along. It will be good memories. Some of the cast are students who will be graduating so I will probably never work with them again. Others will be in future productions so we will work together in the future.

We finished on a high note. It was a great audience with great energy. I believe there were 489. Over the course of the run maybe a dozen people from church came.

Once the folks cleared out it was time to strike the set. That was a lot of work. It meant we had to take everything apart. Most everyone stuck around. So with hammers, wrecking bars, drills and brute force we slowly worked at it. I left after 3 hours and there was still work to do.

When I got home I was really tired yet it wasn't long before I shaved.

I'm back.
