All done...

Ah well. Nothing lasts forever. I don’t know who said that, but it sounds pretty good, so hey! Yeah, the show’s over. It really stinks, but we had a good run, and we have to make way for Stage 1’s next show, Normal, and I’m really excited to go see it when it comes out.

So, I hope you all enjoyed the show, and I don’t know if any of you remember, but I promised a blog about the Secrets of the Back Stage Life, so here is a pretty short story of my favorite rehearsal ever!

One day during rehearsal, back when we didn’t have a complete deck behind the stage, Chase was demonstrating to us how to “correctly” go through the panels at the back at the stage. Well, he took Mackenzie and told her to go through the middle panel. It so happened that the middle panel was the one with no deck behind it, so naturally, Mackenzie fell with a smack! I have to tell you, it was really funny.

But...I’m not done. Later that day, Chase went through one of the panels, and smacked Cooper, and naturally he went flying, then Chase went through the middle panel, and naturally fell with a smack!

Pretty cool story huh?

Ok, so I bid you all good day.

Until next time...Well, I'm not sure there will be a next time...The shows is over, I guess.

Hello Everybody

NOTE: This was posted late. Eric was very upset this wasn't posted when he sent it to us, but its been a busy week. Be sure to check out Children's Letters to God, which opens this weekend. On Friday night, we have a "Pay-what-you-will" performance. Just show up on Friday, and pay whatever you want and see a great show!

FROM ERIC:

Well, it’s been a pretty eventful week (as always) at Stage 1, and the cast is cranking out new tricks left and right. So, to start it off, we got a new part of the set, which are these panels that serve as the background. Plus, us kids get to go through them to enter onto the stage. Pretty cool huh?
So yeah, all of us are really excited for Tech Week (which starts this Thursday by the way), and everybody is psyched about getting the lights and stuff. Speaking of stuff, here’s something pretty cool. Instead of going for a really complicated set, we just have the panels in the back, and then there are going to be a couple of projectors that will project the background onto the panels. This is where I go “Oh YEAH!”
Now, on Tuesday, a tragic thing happened to the cast of CLTG. I, the beloved Eric Pastore (that’s me), lost his voice! Isn’t it sad? Good thing though is that I didn’t lose it the night before Opening. That would have been bad.
So, in the end, we got a lot accomplished this week (as usual), and we are ready to kick those Techie’s butts through the ceiling (just kidding)!

As Usual,

Eric Pastore
