Closing Night!

Well that is about it on my end, just want to thank everybody for all there hard work. I heard that these things are hard, but when you have a good team around it is a walk in the park.

PERFORMANCE #13 Thu 6/26/08
Running time: 1 hour, 17 minutes (1 minute longer ... possibly because of the laughter?).
Stage Manager reports: "Lucky 13, that's right I said lucky 13. Well tonight was no exception to the rule. Everything seemed to flow well. The audience was really into it tonight, and the cast had a wonderful show. Liz was on fire tonight, really moved me tonight. Overall, it was such nice evening at The Public."
Stage Manager continues: "JM would like everyone to know he is cute. He has requested this comment. So when You see JM, tell him he is cute." [as SM knows I'm posting from her reports, I assume she know that I'm going to copy that. Please may I request a photo of JM?]
No rehearsal tomorrow.

PERFORMANCE #12 Wed 6/25/08
Running time: 1 hour, 16 minutes (same as last night).
Stage Manager reports: "Well, I was a bit concerned when we started off, energy was low, but Julian came in the door and loaded the energy. It took them halfway through act one to hook the audience, but once they were hooked it was smooth sailing. There were many vocal ohhs for Lollie and Amy tonight, some people really empathized with them. Overall a great night, even though I will say there were some creative lines."
Props note: let's put some Ricolas on the set for Lollie.
Line run, tomorrow at 5pm.

So we're in the home stretch of P&I. It's been a blast of fun times on and off stage. I got a note from Ruben yesterday (Im not going to say exactly what- that would make this blog just a little too revealing) that Im going to implement with reckless abandon from here on out. hahaha (devious laughter)

PERFORMANCE #11 Tue 6/24/08
Running time: 1 hour, 16 minutes (4 minutes less).
Stage Manager reports: "Overall, it was a good night. The Captioning monitor was very interesting, it was quite distracting. The cast was upset, because everyone knew when they screwed up their lines (they did not mess up nearly as much as they think they did). We started off a bit tepid, but then moved on. 1/3 of the way thru it seemed to all click and it worked. We cut the invisible scene today and Amy’s run to get her pill: that is what took off some time. Good times, yes it was good times."
We had more hard of hearing audience members than LAB has ever had for an Open Captioned performance - which is excellent.
Set note: there is a bubble on the floor by Lyle's desk.

PERFORMANCE #10 Sat 6/21/08
Running time: 1 hour, 20 minutes (another minute shorter).
Stage Manager reports: "Preshow - an audience member yelled that people around him to be quite. He was watching Lyle gather mail. Overall Saturday night was good. The energy was a bit uneven, but overall it was OK. End of the week blahs, that what I say. However it was overall a good week and we all look forward to next week."
Next performance, Tuesday, is Open Captioned - for the hard of hearing. We'll be setting the captions up at 5pm, while the cast do a line run.

Stage Manager reports: "Overall it was a nice show. The cast had very good energy; it was the house that was strange. They responded OK, but not what we like. But you can't always get what you want.

PERFORMANCE #7 Wed 6/18/08
Running time: 1 hour, 27 minutes (3 mins shorter still).
Stage Manager reports: "Well, the show went well, they all had good energy and had a good response from the house. We did have a cackler; it is always good to have a cackler. We did have a few walkouts; they were sitting in the front row. The front row, can you believe it. The cast felt OK about the show, not great, but good. Oh well, lets have rehearsal again."
Front Of House Note: Very hot in house. People were fanning themselves.
Props note: Rubber band newspaper in mail drop. Not so much mail in the drop. Add note pad to the desks in preset.

Running time: 1 hour, 31 minutes (we lost another 2 mins).
Stage Manager reports: "Sometimes you feel like you're on a rollercoaster - Tonight was like the long clank, clank clank, up the big first drop.

Well we have a couple of days of rest before we get to ride the coaster again."
Tech note: Sound and Lighting tech scheduled for Wednesday next week.

PERFORMANCE #3 Thu 6/12/08
Our fabulous Stage Manager, Paige, berated me today for quoting bad lines from her performance reports in this blog. I'll try harder. I'll quote more.
Running time: 1 hour, 34 mins (8 minutes less than last night)
SM reports: "Well it was a little bit quiet in the house tonight. It threw the group for a loop. One High note was that Mums had a good night. I found his evening bag speech insightful, and yes even I wanted to by a bag." She went on to say: "Tonight’s call was sponsored by the letter A for anticipation."
Set note: can we affix Lyle's monitor to the desk?
Costume note: need to talk about Julian's collar.
Props note: more labels, please.
After all the cellphones on Wednesday, John threatened the audience with murder. No phones rang. Possibly some vibrated, but I couldn't say.

PERFORMANCE #2 Wed 6/11/08
Wednesday June 11th ... 2nd performance.
Running time - about 5 minutes shorter than last night.
Set note - we want to know if the Rabbi Room door will stay open ...
Why, in an office farce in which there are literally dozens of phone ringing sound cues, do 3 DIFFERENT CELL PHONES ring during the performance? Add cell phone reminder into tonight's pre-show curtain speech.
Any audience comments?

PERFORMANCE #1 Tue 6/10/08
Tuesday 10th June ... First performance
Running time 1 hour 46 minutes ... most agree that we'll cut some time over the next few days, and this'll help both the comedy, and the darker side.
Props note: we're going to move the newspaper (now you know).
Did you see last night's show? If so, please tell us what you thought - just add a comment.
