This is Urinetown!

So, let me tell you about the past three days.

Wednesday was Final Dress and boy, was it eventful! We'd been on headset, preparing to start the run, when there is a scream on headset. (If you've ever heard a scream on headset, it hurts!) Then there is more squealing coming from the same girl (our light op) and our stage manager. Then there is hysterical laughter and shushing coming from the stage manager. There was a bat in the booth! And it had landed on our light op! Poor girl, her name on headset is now "Batty" or "Bats."

Then, one of the spot lights started sqeaking and in an attempt to fix it, the operator broke it (not really, it just came off it's pipe).

Later, near the end of the run, Senator Fipp hit his knee HARD on the door frame as he was trying to run around towards his next entrance. There was a skidmark that was almost three feet long. And there is one hell of a dent in the door.


Last night was opening night and it was fantastic! The cast and crew did a fantastic job! Even though the fog machine didn't always want to cooperate. The audience was a great audience as well, they were very much into the show. AND IT WAS A FULL HOUSE!!! We sold out! And this morning, the VP of Academic Affairs sent an e-mail to all of the faculty telling them how wonderful the show was and encouraging them to come see it!

As of this moment, I am printing off 500 more programs. We are going to sell out tonight as well. :D

Did I mention that the Arkansas Democrat listed the HSU production of Urinetown as one of the top ten things to do in Arkansas this weekend! We were number six!!!

While I am posting articles, here is the one that was published in The Oracle.
Ignore the author and his many mistakes; he's an idiot.
