Finally! After almost a year of constant working I'm taking a well earned break from theatre for the next two months. Today we wrapped It's a Wonderful Life. This is the first time I've been both stage manager and actor in the same show and I'M TIRED!!! We had 25 people in the cast. We had casting troubles early on. My tech people were pretty much all under the age of 18 (most around 13). It was the director's first time in the directing chair. In other words...organized chaos. I'm so proud of my tech team. Each and every one of them stepped up and did incredible work. In fact, I'm drafting my props mistress for my next show.
We had a great run with sold out bookings and almost a full house every night, including matinees and Thursdays. We didn't have an empty seat at all today and it's a great feeling for closing a show.
If you are ever in the Birmingham area and like live theatre I highly recommend checking this place out (http://www.southcitytheatre.com/ ). The next show will be The Return of the Pink Panther. And following that one will be M*A*S*H (I'll be stage managing this one).
