| We had our preview performance last night. The show was quite
good and the energy was great. It's nice to finally have a run in
front of a real audience instead of just all the tech crew. The
energy boost was palpable, and we got a better idea of where people are
going to react and where they're not.
It was so much fun being up in front of an audience again, and everything went so smoothly. Lets hope it stays that way.
I slept like crap last night. I'm not sure what was wrong.
I'm not anxious about opening tonight, and I didn't have bad
dreams. I just kept waking up. Boo.
Tomorrow we have an 8:30am call for our 10:30 matinee show. We're
trying to organize a last minute Lock-In sleep over in the thrust, but
that's probably not going to happen. It'll probably end up in a
middlebrook dormroom, if it happens at all. Boo.
Anyway. Shifts done. Off to welding class. yay!

| Set went up over the weekend. Just got to play on it for the first time last night.
It was fantastic!
I really felt the energy level of the whole show just skyrocket when we
started the runthrough. I think we'll get a similar boost this
weekend when we get our costumes.
I went and sat up in the upper balcony during some of the scenes I
wasn't in and boy did I feel left out. We got a note about this
after the run, but we all have to get our eyes up and out of the front
few rows. I'm glad that it's not just my problem, but also a
little worrying that so many people do it. Oh, well, we've got 9
days till opening. There's tons of work left to do, but quite a
bit of time to do it in.

I got interviewed by the Daily last night for the AandE article about
the show coming out next thursday. I hope I didn't sound like an
idiot. I have a tendency to do that.

| I relapsed last night and kept looking at the floor during my lines. Eyes up! Up up up!
I can't wait until we get the real props and set in the space (April
8th). It will be fun to play around and try to add some small
details in the action. I think a lot of that's also going to come
out when we start rehearsing larger chunks of the show at once, rather
than starting and stopping through one scene repeatedly.

| The Fight Call last night was a ton of fun. It didn't last the
full 3 hours. In fact, we learning the fight in about 40 minutes,
then spent about 45 minutes running it in slow motion. We'll have
3 weeks now to get it up to speed. It's just a bunch of punching,
throwing, lifting, and kicking, but it's a blast to perform, and the
crew sitting out in the house said even at half-speed it looks really
convincing. After the frist few runthroughs, Diane the
stagemanger would frantically ask me if I was hurt because she said it
looked so real.
Which I guess it kind of was. I was accidentally punched in the
nuts, forehead, and chin, bruised my hip, and scuffed my elbows... but
it's all part of the job, right? Since it was slowed down,
nothing really hurt and it's nice to know which areas we have to be
more careful. The thing that sucked the most was being dropped on
my side after being choked in the air. I kept landing on my hip
and since we ran the fight 10 or 11 times, I've got a nice little
bruise going on there. And when we start the run, I have to do
the fight twice everynight, as we have a fight call before the show to
practice, and then of course during the show. On the Friday that
we do two shows, I'll get dropped four times in one day.
Hooray. Hopefully by then, though, I'll have figured out a way to
avoid the hip.
Then I'll just have to deal with falling down the stairs...

| We're spending 2.5 hours rehearsing a fight scene tonight. 4 of
us. In a fight that last time we ran it, was less than 30 seconds
long.
I'm excited. I think it's going to get extensively choreographed
and either be really intense and short, or we're going to do a slower,
stylized version of it. Either way, I think it's going to be a
lot of fun.
