Now I’m dreaming about all that has to be done. Too many loose ends; not enough time. The set still has lots to be done—those pesky doors! And painting! I want wallpaper on all the walls…but to purchase wallpaper and apply and distress it…well, maybe easier to paint and make it look like wallpaper. I love doing this, but wish I could have a few days to devote only to it.
Of course, on top of the play which opens NEXT WEEK!!!!!! are the rehearsals for the choir concert on Sunday. Not to mention getting ready for the cabaret this Saturday. And rehearsals for A CHRISTMAS CAROL.
The TV. A year ago our friends Mike and Patti Knighton left a message that there was a cool old TV sitting on the curb near their house. It was clean-up week. I tried calling them back but couldn’t reach them and left a message. They called back and left a message that it would probably be picked up that night and I’d need to get it soon. I got this message at about 10:00 at night at home. I live ten miles out of town and wasn’t about to hike back in to get it, so I called my son who was living in town then and asked if he could get over there to see if he could get it. He called from his cell phone and said it was a cool looking TV, but he couldn’t fit it in his car and that he doubted if he could even lift it himself! Wait, maybe he could drag it into the bushes of the house and leave it until morning. This is a really cool TV…it’s really big. Oh, wait, he thinks he can shove it into the back seat of his car. Wait. Yep, he’s got it in.
That’s the story of the TV. The Knightons didn’t even know we were going to produce a play that takes place in the 50s…but they knew it was cool enough that just in case we ever did a show in the 50s we’d have the TV. And we do.
