And You Were Going to Tell Us When?
So, at rehearsal last night, the director tells us to that only those of us with costume changes during the performance need to wear our costumes. This is what the costume manager also believes, so, no hurry, she's still got time to make those last-minute alterations, right?
Wrong. We show up tonight, and the first thing everyone hears is that the photographer from the local newspaper is coming, and we all have to be in costume. Terrific, so I put on my costume, which is not meant to be worn with a sweater underneath and with brown shoes, but hey, that's all I had, and of course the pants haven't been taken in, yet, and the hat hasn't been padded out, yet. Lovely.
Tomorrow, I'm bringing a belt. I don't care if it's not period. If my pants fall down around my ankles while I walk across stage, they'll have a very different kind of show on their hands.
Meet Bosworth.
Tomorrow is full dress rehearsal, and Friday is show time. There are still a good number of kinks to be worked out, and since this is my first play, I don't really know how normal that is. There are a large number of children in this thing, and keeping them under control is quite the ordeal.

Great costume. Break a leg!
seemed you only got the part a few days ago!!
I just got another part for the next play a few days ago. It's confusing, I know, but we've been rehearsing this for a few weeks.
No photography allowed during the performance, because they sell videos, but there will be photos afterward.
Given how tonight's dress rehearsal went, I'm not sure I want any photographic evidence.
