Ah, tech day. 
The performances are why we do theatre, tech day is why we debate quitting.
Arguements were had, and mostly resolved. Lessons were learned. Lights were not finished. I kind of want to kill all the actors. Yes, I'm one of them, but I'm also the producer and thus one of the actor-hating tech team, too.
My tendancy toward histrionics has been mostly diffused by a few oddly-timed but nonetheless practical phone calls to the tech team for the next show.
I have hopefully not alienated any of my friends.
Frustration level high, however.
On that note, come see the show that's making me nuts!
"Two Guys, a Couch, and the Fate of the World"
When: Sept. 14 2 pm, Sept. 14-17 8 pm, Sept. 21-24 8 pm
Where: The Easterbrook Theatre, Building A3, 2633 Hochwald Ave. SW, Calgary, Alberta
Synopsis: Top Secret Agent Dirk Rhombus is out to save the world from a deadly weather satelliteor, rather, top Canadian agent Janet DuBois is out to save the world from a deadly virusor possibly some sort of combination. It all depends if playwrights Phil and Chris can stop bickering long enough to write the script. It's a spy comedy and a look at the writing process all in one, from non-bickering (sort of) playwrights Jason Garred and Dan Gibbins.
And for Cilantro and anyone else who needs them, directions to the theatre:
1) Take Crowchild southbound
2) Take the exit marked Flanders Avenue. This spits you out at a set of traffic lights.
3) Turn right at the lights. This takes you past a gate with a guy in a box. You don't have to say anything to the guy or pay or anything like that.
4) Turn right onto Quesnay Wood Drive. This is the second opportunity to turn right after the guy in the box.
5) a) Turn right on Dieppe Avenue. The parking lot is on the left hand side of the road a little ways down. Should you miss this,
b) Turn right on Hochwald Avenue. In this case the parking lot is on your right.
For the bus bound, if you bail off the 18 just after it leaves Crowchild in the Mount Royal area, you're basically at the "this spits you out at a set of traffic lights" part of the directions. The 13 offers more or less the same option, but you have bail off at Richardson Way -ish. I'm also told that the 40 stops right near the barracks, too.
Tickets are $10 for Students, $13 for adults, and half that on the Wednesday matinee.
Call (403)-999-2024 or e-mail scorpio.info@shaw.ca for more info and to book tickets.
Oh, and as promised, here's my new kitten, Sarah.
This is Spike and Sarah together. It gives you an idea of the size difference between them. And they're both clearly possessed, too. It's great!
