"Grease" Day 5: An unforgettable matinee.

Today we had our first ever Sunday matinee, in the Colonial theater.

Oh yeah, My mother and Three fellow camp staff (Deb, Nicole and Jess) came to see it today.

So, Lenny showed up at 10 minutes 'till show time, and everybody was panicking about where he was. If he didn't show, we might have had to have Jeopardy Mike fill the part. thankfully that didn't happen.

Then I heard an announcement saying that there were disruptive childeren in the audience. I thought "Oh my god! The girls brought campers with them"

But that wasn't the case.

So Act One went well. During intermission we had some of Kyles family and friends come into the dressing room to say "Good Job" and such.

And it's bad luck to visit with audience people untill after the show.

Now I'll repeat a line from earlier posts:

"Fire alarms go off at the worst times, sometimes."

During "Beauty School Dropout" I left the door from the theatre to the green room, open, and the fog machine set the fire alarm off, part-way through the song. Then, the "oh shit's" flew, and everybody started to fly into a panic. We were saved by Crew Member Nick Seibel, who bolted down the stairs, and yanked the battery out of the fire alarm, shutting it off. Then the show picked up again.

Nice going Rob! Take a bow, genius!

Then Kyle lost the ring he was supposed to give Lindsey, in the next scene.

Finally I noticed stains on my Eugene shorts, and just wore khackis's in the last scene.

Oh well, despite the fire alarm, and other mishaps, we still had a good show. I still got greeting from mother, Deb, Nicole and Jess. Gary got to meet them as well, when he walked by.

We're doing "Hair" next semester. Stay tuned...
