"Oh, I saw Curtains the other night! It was GREAT! Were you in it?"

Whew, well that was fun.  I heard from the producer that Curtains was the highest grossing/highest audience size show that GGSS has ever done and that now we have lots of money with which to make our winter and spring shows awesome (I have taken a possessively-worded stance with GGSS because now I realize this is my group of people and I am obligated to stay with them in some capacity for all three years).

Who wouldn't love these people?  Just look at the faces.

I also love everyone who came to see the show.  It was so great to see Mom, Dad, both sets of grandparents, Pete, Josh, Brian, Kay, Brent, etc, etc, etc....  it was lovely to have my own dedicated claque each night, and better still to be able to see everyone (however briefly) afterwards.  I am pretty certain, and I may have said this before, that Lt. Frank Cioffi is the best possible role that I could ever hope to play in a musical theater context.  Unless there's another character who sings in my range and is actually SUPPOSED to dance awkwardly.  It was a blast saying every single line every single night.

I've got some more photos from the show that I'll put up here:

SHOW PEOPLE

I couldn't actually steal the fedora because it is Ben's fedora.  Sad.

I especially love Ben's face and Sarah's face in this one.

Because GGSS is a ridiculous group, we had full cast parties every night after the show.  I'm not even remotely sure how my body survived the weekend on the amount of sleep I gave it.  On Friday evening it was a full formal party.  That's how we roll.

Me talking with Marie, who made me look pretty.

I put of the picture of me and our costume designer because I blame her for making me so unrecognizable onstage that no fewer than six people came up to me while I was either wearing a Curtains t-shirt or sitting at the Curtains ticketing table or standing next to someone else who was in Curtains and asked whether I was in the show.  After having seen it.  Apparently I need to buy some vests and do my hair like Don Draper because people like me better when I am from the 1960's.  A disturbingly high number of people told me as much.  

After strike on Sunday we went out as a cast and got burgers at Five Guys.  Delicious. 

As of now I'm replacing all rehearsal time with social time because there are people I've been meaning to hang out with more.  In approximately three weeks I'll shift that social time over and add it to my studying time.  Should be fine for exams by doing that.
