thescarletwomanPopping in for a mid-hell-week update on Fiddler. It's going... well... it's going. I know a lot of you have done theatre shows... and this? Well...
As our director (David) said last night, the actors suck. First dress was one of the worst shows he'd EVER seen. And as Richard added, everyone basically has ONE costume. It shouldn't have been this difficult (the poor Russians though... they have a LOT of fast costume changes).
However, I'm the only one who, at notes last night, got a 'wonderful job'. Usually as all David does is tell you you suck (even if you're doing a good job. It's just David's crazy way) so a complimenet is one of those 'must write this date down'.
It has, though, been a blast being on stage. Whether it's up on my really freaking high roof or down on stage dancing in 'To Life' it's been an absolute blast.
WHICH brings me to the really cool thing -- and completely unrelated to Fiddler. A few weeks ago, I got an email from Mrs Co about a job opportunity. It's a dance/fiddling touring troupe called 'Barrage' (has anyone heard of them or seen them perform? If so, let me know how it was and some stuff about it). From what I gather, it's like Riverdance for fiddlers. I've had SUCH a good time doing Fiddler that I'm seriously thinking about sending in some information to them and see what happens.
