"Joseph" Tech week

Yes, we had a 10 hr. play practice today. It was long, but exhilirating.

When I got there, everybody was anxious to know how my night at the strip discrict went. Great, I said! Doug and Gary had their own stories to tell about it, as well.

So, the show is almost ready.

Few changes in cast though...

Katie Scott and Greg Gushard left the cast awhile ago, for personal reasons. So old cast members Bethany Gallagher and Greg Heid have returned to the stage to take over the vacant spots.

Then, Gretchen Blumle who was the narrator, was hospitalized with a throat condition. Lindsey Wright is, for now, and possibly for the whole show, taking over as the Narrator.

Wow.

Also, Pharaoh will be played by Nina Petrucci's brother Mike. He's good.

So the dances are going well, but still need some polishing up. I'm not in "Go, Go, Go Joseph" because of the Baker getting killed off.

Poor Baker, What did he do, to get dumped in the clink and then get executed? Because of my summer troubles (See "Camp Week 6: Sickness Coming On" post), I claimed that he spied on the Pharaoh's wife tanning in her back yard.

Might as well be a crime that I actually committed.

Then there's the "Joseph's Dream's" dance. The brothers work on that a LOT. And we keep adjusting it too.

My favorite dance scene is the "Song of the King" dance. The guys play fat and skinny cows in the beginning of it. Doug, Paul, Greg, Ryan, George and John play the fat cows. Lenny, Adam, Gary, Jordan, Aaron, and myself play the skinny cows. Then Kyle is Joseph, Mike is Pharoah, and Brandon is the Butler.

Nice!

So, the show opens Wednesday. Looking forward to it.
