Gosh, thanks. Allan, you're right, it's a very special day, it's the first dress rehearsal for Peter Pan, and I, the head costumer, do not have all the costumes done.
So here I sit, 7 a.m., covered with little bits of Nana fluff that I didn't vaccuum up last night like I shoulda, and trying to remember where the HEY I put the croc head (I hope it's in row 4), and trying to nerve myself up to be nice to my SO 'cause I yelled at him.
Oh, yeah, ain't life exciting? Where did I put the Neverbird feathers?
Thanks, gang, and blessings,
Barbara

PS, you shoulda seen the director's jaw drop when I told him I was going to take my birthday off. If I remember correctly, he said, "In your dreams."

oh heck, it's traditional not to have everything done until the curtain goes up, or later! I remember a production of Pirates of Penzance where the set was finished during intermission....

Have a very happy birthday!

there seems to be something particularly appropriate about preparing for a production of Peter Pan on one's birthday...but I can't remember what it could be...

Blessings, Barbara, on your birthday! I've been up to my ears in Apocalypso et al so haven't given you a proper thank you for it. Have a wonderful day, break a leg with the show, and relax and enjoy when you can!
Blessings, Allison

Happy Birthday Barbara Blessings ( did find myself scratching my head, wondering WHICH Barbara, but I figgered it out), and stretch it out for as long as you can. I am a major fan of the Birth week celebration. Come over to the tavern and have a bit of barbacue, drink of choice, and key lime pie, and watch em sweating it out at the salsa eating contest (I WON'T grow up!)

Arigato gozaimasu, Seed-san, and thank you all. Just got home from rehearsal, and it's still running slow, but it's getting there. Hook's got a problem with not having two hands to pull up his too-loose pants, so the swordfight with Peter was a little more entertaining than they meant it to be, I'll have to find him some suspenders ('braces' for you UK types). Hook has a real live honest to god Blue Macaw to sit on his hook, amazing.
I gave the Neverbird a little speech about not sitting down on her peacock tailfeathers, and instructed the lost boys in the fine art of hanging up costumes (a lost cause if ever I heard one, but when the stage manager confiscates them next week the learning curve will improve).
It's going to be fun, and boy, am I glad today is over. Maybe this weekend I'll get a chance to celebrate my b'day.
Thanks again you lovely mudcats.
Blessings,
Barbara
Say, Animaterra, if you end up with a tape of your performance, I'd LOVE to hear it. HINT. HINT.

Your wish is my command, o kilnd one! Last night's rehearsal really cemented the song- the group was ready to mutiny and I was NOT going to give up! Our percussionists showed up and saved the day, however. It's going to be our encore.

Barbara, I loved your commentary on play rehearsal. It's truly like living inside a popcorn popper for a portion of your life, isn't it? If people knew how unerringly Murphy's Law rules backstage...

(God, I miss it!)

Miss Murphy's Law???!!?
Yah, I know, don't they have community theater where you are, Wyo?
Oh, and I found the croc's head. Whew! It was on top of the Pepsi machine in the small theater dressing room. I don't ask, I am only grateful.
Blessings,
Barbara
