"Godspell" Night 2: Plus one president minus one actress.

We had a good crowd tonight, and a better show.

Tonight, the show began with a speech from RMU President Edward Nicholson. Then he said "On with the show!" and we began.

The only downside to tonight's show, in my opinion was the absense of Courtney Spradley. She can't go out Friday nights. This was an inconvenience for me because I dance with her in the song "Save the People", and tonight I had to dance alone.

Dang!

After the show, one of my teachers gave me a Vanilla Coke. I was flattered.
Then, I was going to follow some others to a place in Robinson, but I lost them, so I just went home.

Tomorrow is closing night, followed by the cast party, in suite D2.

"Godspell" Night 1: Opening/Family Night

Tonight, we officially opened "Godspell"

Before we started, I think I had too much energy. So, I ran one lap around the whole campus, and came back all out of breath.

The show itself ran quite well, with no real errors, except for maybe a line missed. Well, I also sort of messed up my ribbin twirler in "Bless the Lord" and didn't have it spinning the way it should've been.

Oh well!

My mother was there, that night, and she enjoyed the show. After it was over, I introduced her to some of the other cast members.

After the show. Dr. Gargaro, the director, took us all out to The Ground Round across the street. There we ate, BS'ed about opening night and other crap, etc. We all had a good time.

"Godspell" Tech Week.

Oh yes, it's here.

Tech week for my first RMU show. Godspell.

I can honestly say. This has been really fun.

So today, we had a 10 hr. long play practice. And it was raining when I got there. Fello cast member, Summer York, who was arriving at the same time that I did, and I racet to the Massey Hall, only to find the front door locked. So we ran around to the side and got out of the rain. From there we practiced, and practiced, untill around five, when for whatever reason the fire alarm went off.

"Fire alarms go off at the worst times, sometimes." -from the Graduation blog.

So he had an early dinner in the food court, and then we got back to practice.

I remember awhile ago, we all did a song from the show in the food court earlier on in the year. "Bless the Lord" sung by Lindsey Wright. She did "Godspell" at Beaver High, too. But someone else sang that song. I can't believe it. No one sings "Bless the Lord" better than Lindsey, in my opinion.

By the way, the costumes are so funky. Most of the girls seem to like pink and black outfits, but some are wearing different. The guys are wearing a wide array of crazy stuff. I myself will be wearing a white Epcot Center baseball hat. My Quigley baseball jersey, grey sweatpants, and green boy scout socks. This is going to be very colorful.
