Especially when the professional thinks I can do their job.
Even if they're being sarcastic.

Yesterday, P & I went to see Cyrano (he missed it due to family matters last month, so I grabbed us cheap tickets for going again).
Closing performance. Very much closing performance - yes, it was everything it should have been, but moments were held a little more, a little sweeter yesterday.
My favourite?
When De Guiche is explaining that NO ONE could retrieve his white scarf (his mark of rank) from the battlefield that was held by the Spanish, Cyrano pulls the scarf out of his pocket.
When we saw it early October? He put his hand in his pocket and presented the scarf.
Last night?
It was almost teasingly slow - at least until the first flash of white came out of the pocket, and when the audience reacted, the two actors held the moment.
It was glorious. It was very much the Gascony arrogance and bravery that is Cyrano.
Mr. Feore? Thank you for letting me see my hero breathe again. You earned my tears this time.

Yay for costuming meetings that leave me breathless - seriously - heart caught in my throat, omg, so excited.
Now that they've left, NOW, I remember that I should have asked them if I could borrow the book so I could scan a few of the pictures for the site.
Hee...
I love it this...

And apparently he has the occasional bits of help....
I now have a beautiful LARGE plak mounted (apparently it's a jumbo window card for those of you who know what that means) version of my company's logo. It's gorgeous.
Yay - my sweetie - he knows exactly what will make me smile for an anniversary present.

What happens when you have a sexy play, a brilliant director and a film crew of pure geniuses....
I love getting to play with the folks I do....
Ladies & Gentlemen - the teaser trailer for LLD - I suppose there's a NSFW if you happen to work in a VERY VERY conservative environment - then again, this is a play where sex is a major element.

I have the sexiest friends ever. The ones on camera. The ones off. The ones who write my scripts. The ones who film. The ones who keep the police at bay.
I can't wait to show you the final version....

So FightGuy & I went up to Elmira Theatre Company's space today.
I have to say, dear gods, but I wish we did Musketeers there instead of St. Jacobs.
Drawbacks: It's in Elmira. There's no proscenium. If you're backstage and not in the greenroom, you have to be QUIET, because the sound carries really well. They don't have blacks, so we'd have to deal with that ourselves, if we needed them.
Advantages: 40' wide, by 24' deep. 24 channel programmable board, with 40 dimmer circuits and a lot of lights (the lighting guy that was there was new and was still inventorying the lights - I'm getting a list soon). 5 pipes for the lights, with another 3 outlets in the back of the stage at ground level that can be hooked into the board. Sound system (2 CD setup, as opposed to the computerized stuff we've been using with KWLT), with 2 speakers, with jacks & more speakers if we want them. Greenroom has a washroom that's dedicated for the actors. We can use their risers & flats - risers - return to the way they were, flats - don't cut, don't wallpaper, otherwise, sure, whatever. We can screw to the deck!!! Raked seating - roughly 152
seats. The space is available for the summer 2010 slot I was aiming for.
It's about $500 less per week than the Registry, without the extras that Registry charges. It is entirely doable - if we can get 100-120 people at St. Jacobs, we can get that in Elmira. Current figures put it at needing about 13 people per night to break even for the space, and the space is the biggest cost.
I'm now working on getting buy in from the current stakeholders for Shrew, but...yah, I think I've found the space.

Making your own yummy seedy crackers, at least in my world, is a very very good thing.
Chalk up another one for Mr. Brown - weight, not volume, when measuring flours...
