Last night we actually ran through the whole show. It was a little bumpy at times because Ezzy was diagnosed Monday with an upper respiratory infection. She had a fever, was a little weak, and had a cough. Yet she was a trooper. She did all three characters including costume changes.

So yes, we are ready for the festival. God has definitely given grace for such a time as now.

I really am proud of Ezzy for her boldness, her creativity, and her determination. She does some really amazing work in this show and I am glad to be directing and collaborating with her on it.  It has taken eighteen months for us to get to this point from opening conversation to opening night. Wow, it has been such a fun journey.

So I hope you get to enjoy the premier presentation of “Once Upon A Caterpillar: A One-Woman Work In Progress“.

Showtime is at 8pm on April 7, 8, 12, 13 & 17. Purchase $15 tickets online at: http://bit.ly/bJWnp7

So Ezzy got sick Friday evening, which made Saturday’s tech rehearsal very interesting. Actually it worked out because I spent the first hour designing the lighting scheme for the show, which I had never done before. Although I felt a little out of my league, I trusted my instincts and kept asking God for help.

After the lights, we worked on sound cues. Dennis handled that very well which made my job much easier.

Unfortunately I was not able to test out the image and video projection as the theater did not have an adapter to a Mac laptop. So I will be testing this out the day of the show which should be rather interesting.

Ezzy and her crew of three ladies worked out the business of costume changing behind the curtain. Since Ezzy is performing three character monologues with full costumes, she basically has a 90 second window in between monologues to change. I am sure that will be fun for them.

All in all the production has been coming along well.
