Bye Bye Birdie, Bye Bye High School


This year my baby sister will be graduating from high school. Coincidentally, I was hired by the high school to play synthesizer for a production of "Bye Bye Birdie" at the last minute (essentially three weeks rehearsal before the show opened--and I am by no means a professional musician). I walk into rehearsal, and who should be there but my little sister, playing flute? Despite Jocie's help getting me caught up, it was by far the most stressful show I've ever been involved in. Important practice though, and it made me appreciate my MTG shows all the more. The band director asked if I would be interested in coming back next year, and I said "definitely--if you let me know earlier!" 

In the end, Jocelyn played beautifully, and I struggled valiantly (I shot the director the deer-in-the-headlights look more than once!) and together we made it through. Love you sis!

Hoskins and Spenalzo Are Dead

About 6 weeks ago, I went to the local Theatre Guild's prop/costume sale. I came away with a couple vintage aprons and some costume jewelry. They got my phone number. A couple weeks later, I got a phone call from Denise Plantenburg, their resident superhero. Could I make a dead body? They are doing Arsenic and Old Lace , one of my favorite movies that was a Broadway smash before it hit the big screen.  After a lot of Googling, I ended up with the proposal of wrapping a live body in duct tape, then stuffing it with rags, newspaper, and kitty litter for weight. Denise herself was my model, and a very good sport as I alternately suffocated her and mauled her extremities with a pair of dull scissors in a desperate attempt to get the mess off of her before she toppled over.  What then did I have? What looked like a pair of out-size frog legs and a very stiff coat.  I stuffed the shell ( necropants ?) with some rags, bags of kitty litter in the feet, and newspaper in th

What's In My Rehearsal Bag?

My rehearsal bag is an enormous tote, with lots of pockets inside and out. Not only does it hold my rehearsal gear, but it also holds my clothes during costume changes and my outerwear as well. Especially if you’re working on a show with a big cast (my last had 69 cast members!) what’s in your rehearsal bag is your lifeline to keep from going crazy during those long, long rehearsals. What’s In My Rehearsal Bag? Mini Hand Sanitizer. Besides being used on your hands, you can squeeze hand sanitizer on to a tissue or a napkin and use it as a wipe to sanitize surfaces. A Packet of Tissues/Hankie. Don’t count on anything softer than toilet tissue to be available, and you don’t want to be sniffing all night long. Lip Balm, Travel Size Hand Lotion. If your lips or skin get chapped, it’s really distracting. Pencils/Pens, Sticky Notes and Tabs. These are great for marking lines, cues, and scene/costume changes, as well as any changes to the script that the director makes. Someth
