The next endeavor

Today marks the third day of rehearsal on the next show in the rotation.  It's the show that I was most excited about as I got ready to come here this summer!  And let me preface the below comments by say that I think it will be VERY GOOD!

We have a guest director in town for this show, we'll call him Truvey.  Now Truvey has been an actor here before and I've worked with him the past two summers.  This year he is just coming from a job where he was actually in the show that he is now directing here.  so he knows it quite well!  All of that is good stuff except for the fact that he's driving me crazy.  If I hear the words "having just done the show...." one more time I might go mad!  Yesterday Truvey was actually reading in lines for the guy playing the role that he just played and using the characters voice to do so.  (RUDE!)  At one point in rehearsal he approached me at the keys and said, "What was just going on with the music right there?"  My response at a later moment was something to the effect of you do your job and I'll do mine.

Oh gosh...I see a long week ahead of me.  The thing is that I've been working with The Man at my side as the director for the entire summer so far and I'll be doing one more show with him at the end of the season.  I guess you don't realize how easy it is to work with some people until you aren't working with them.  I'm taking deep breaths and hoping to get through the week.

Until next time...from the Mountains of Music Madness.
