We Have a Set?!

Let the record show that Chase Kniffen, our awesome director, took one day off of rehearsal and they FINISHED THE SET! Now of course it isn’t completely done There’s a lot painting to be done and walls and rotating panels to install, but we have all of the platforming!! Although the set isn’t technically finished yet, this event was way ABOVE our expectations. HA HA! Sorry, inside joke.

This set is so amazing. I can’t wait to actually perform on it, although it will take some getting used to. That angle is actually really steep when you are trying to dance on it, or run to the very edge of the stage without falling off and without looking at the ground. Oh, I’m sorry, did some of you feel left out of our inside joke?

Well I’ll tell you, although it probably won’t seem all that funny to you. Well, at the beginning of rehearsal chase told us that we would be working with a set that had a very subtle incline but over distance would become about 18 inches high. Well, to get 18 inches in a steady incline of about 7 feet, it can’t be all that subtle, so when we got the set, the incline was surprisingly extreme, and made most of us brake down in fits of mass hysteria and terror. WE WOULD HAVE TO DANCE ON THAT?!!! Anyway, as rehearsal went on, it was actually not all that hard, so case closed.

Now, I know you have loved listening to me babble, but all that talk never really explained the “inside joke”, and you know what? I like it that way, so you will just have to wait until I release my article on “The Wonderful Secrets of the Back Stage Life” after the show has already started. So HA!

Until next time,
