Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes of a one-person show…  So you really want to know what’s going through my head and what I’m doing four days before the show?  Ok, here goes…

• unpacking all of my show props and costumes
• going through all show props and costumes to make certain everything is accounted for
• taking a car load of props/costumes/décor over to the venue tomorrow so that I’m not fighting to get it all in my car on Friday
• running my lines
• running my lines and forcing myself to strike all profanity as per the venue’s request
• studying each of the 12 characters in the show; making certain I not only remember who they are, but that I also remember their motivations
• getting in the right head-space/mood to do the show; this means alone time, certain movies, certain music – things that I’ve found prepare me for the emotional marathon of STEPPING ON A FEW TOES
• writing a new message for the show’s guestbook
• making the lobby collage
• making certain I get some cardio in 3-4 times this week to make certain I don’t get physically tired during the performance
• doing an inventory of all of the show tokens to be sold
• doing an inventory of all of the lobby posters, reviews and show ads
• rehearsing, setting tech, and decorating the lobby Friday night
• resting
• thanking God for another opportunity to share my story

In a nutshell, that’s what I’ll be up to from now until Saturday’s show.  Saturday’s show?  Ohhhhhh…well in case you didn’t know I’ve got a show this Saturday.  Yep – this one coming up.  Here are the details…
