So here we are at 9am on day 3 of tech for Ruddigore. This has been an insane tech period so far, and it doesn't show any signs of getting any less hectic.
Today should be loads of fun! We have tech rehearsal until 2, then we have just enough time to grab lunch at get to the choir concert! Then, after the choir concert...e get to come right back to tech until 11pm!
Anyway, last night a guest A cappella group from Carnegie Mellon came to visit and perform. they were really good but that night we had a party with them and we got to see a whole new side of then...they're nerds! haha, seriously, this was the only party i had ever been at where campus safety was called to bust it because the people put on their own CD and wouldn't stop singing along with it ridiculously loudly. Well, that party got annoying pretty quickly, so we spent the rest of our night at Trivet Diner (yea, we're cool)
Anyway, I hear alot of screaming coming from the stage so I think it's about time I go down to deck...just kill me now

Young Frankenstein
Holy Crap...it's insane.
Not only is the show, hysterically funny and extremely entertaining, but it would be worth sitting through just for the shear state of dumbfoundedness that you will find yourself in when you see the amount of huge and elaborate scenery that these people can produce out of 4 seconds of darkness. Not only were there hundreds of flying pieces, but there were tons of tracking wagons and all of it was equipped with flashing lights and van de graaf generators that sent actual bolts of electricity through the air on the stage.
Ok, so now that I got all of my initial excitement out...the show was very well done. The cast, which included names like Roger Bart, Andrea Martin, Sutton Foster, and Megan Mellaney (yes, i got everyone's autographs on my playbill) was brilliant. The only thing that bothered me was Roger bart's yelling thing. If anyone's seen the producer's, you know what I'm talking about. When he gets excited or dramatic he yells in this yelling, comedic voice that is really funny the first time, but I felt like he delivered every other line of YF in that voice!
I also wish that Sutton had a little bit more. She was amazing, but the part is not that huge- she's almost always on stage, but she doesn't have enough to say. she does have one song in the beginning however right after her entrance that was AMAZING. I wont say anything b/c I don't want to ruin it, but she is hysterical!
Anyway, It's late so I dont have time to write down all of the things that I would like to, but GO SEE IT!!!
(p.s. if you don't know what a van de graaf generator is, look below....and then picture them all over the set)

It's Alive!
Tonight, I get to see "Young Frankenstein" the new Mel Brooks Broadway Musical!
I'm really excited, I didn't think that I was going to see it until a few months from now, unless I wanted to spend 6 thousand dollars on tickets, but by some miracle, I logged on to ticketmaster yesterday, and there they were! 2 tickets...somewhere in a corner of the theatre somewhere...but in the theatre none the less! So me and Kathleen are going tonight!
details and reactions to come!

Fall Break
It's finally here! Fall Break starts tomorrow (well, technically today?) and I can't wait. A break is long overdue...like, seriously. If they keep us here much longer- someone's going to strike; no joke, someone's going to lose it, and with my luck- it will be one of my residents. And I can't have residents flipping out and going phycho and killing people...
...that's far too much paperwork
