Whew!! Last dress rehearsal tonight and we open Friday for a 4 week run! My eyes are so glazed from all the detail work on the background of the pictures. I bought the whole Photoshop suite when I got my computer, and it is really really NEAT!! I had elements before, and that was good, but this has sooo much more, and I like the interface between Vista, windows picture viewer and Photoshop. You click on a picture and then click on open and VOLIA! the picture you want to edit is right there!! COOL!
I have all the portraits for the lobby wall, and Most of their Bios also, but I have to get it up tonight, so some will go up without Bios, and then they will whine and wonder why they did not have a bio on the wall, write one out and expect me to just reach into my back pocket and pull out the formatted, bio, all printed in powerpoint in the proper font and colors. Not gonna happen. I have been asking for Bios for 3 months. And as many pictures as I have taken there are still several kids that were not there in time so their portrait was not taken. This cast was just WAAAAAAY too big, with hardly any parental help.
The show will open on time, and it will all work out, but this one has been a rough birth. I had the lights all set, and then they changed the set, so now the lights dont look right. They will have to do though. As I was not given any more time to get them done. It will work! Some how the magic always comes together.
I will only be taking pictures and doing the lobby wall poster for the next show, so that will not be bad. And then Nothing until June, when we Produce NUNSENSE. That one only has five ladies in it, so it will be a snap. WHEW!
Now on to other things....

I love to hear that all of your hard work has turned out ok Miz Mary lou. I also love the pictures you post for us; gives us a chance to be there a little.
Good luck for Friday. Like you said, the magic always comes together.
General principles of social groups:
1). In any group larger than 2 people, there will always be someone whom didn't "get the word"..
2). Chronic procrastination is endemic.
3). You are hereby awarded honorable mention as a "Powerpoint Ranger of the Month" for getting it done!
4). Good Luck! ;-)
While I write this on Saturday morning in Holland, the first show on Friday night in Whidbey Island is just over and you're tired after a successful evening I assume. Now I'm waiting for your report :-)
