Adieu, Adieu...

APRIL 16, 2008...A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.

At least for the theatre department at UIC it will.
Let's just say, Wednesday productions are the hardest because there is a four day break since the last show. Plus we had the previous week off so this week we had to go back to school. (sad sad actors) Anyway here's just a list of things that wen awry!

+First ten minuets of the show FAILED because
+The speakers decided not to work
+our projections died
+The stage manager decided to drop an F-Bomb you could hear from mars
+ The Director walked out (ouch.)

THEN
+Our headphones died so I couldn't hear my cues (I was the light board operator)
+ The Stage Manager had to yell my cues
+Horatio fell down the stairs..(got some dead air)
+Ophelia got beaten up by Hamlet (not intentionally!)
+Hamlet fell of his skates
+Hamlet pants ripped and you got to see, Hamlet's..Hamlettes...>_<
+People missed their cues or talked during sound cues
+Hamlet laughed when he died.

And other things happened too, that I can't remember or choose not to.

BUT WAIT---

THURSDAY WAS....AAAAAMAAAAAAZZZZZIIIING. So I guess we needed that sweet kick in the butt so that yesterday's show tasted like honey.

with only a few mistakes and one heart attack...

That's Shakespeare for ya!
