Bright lights -- big city. Well, at least, bike lights, big city. Always useful! And brought to me by mine truly, E.E. That is, upon arriving home from a long day at work only to dart off again to another full-length dress rehearsal (the life of a community theater actress is clearly not that glamorous--though it's a helluvalotta fun!), I found E. outside my apartment installing two lights on to my beloved Yoshi. Having great friends around is like the opposite of having "borrowers" at your house -- and Yoshi certainly appreciates it.Post-bike-light-installation, our lively troupe of four (D/E/"Pudney" and I) headed off to dress rehearsal #2. Though it ended up being an extraordinarily late night (sadly prohibiting me from attending the birthday gathering of a former classmate -- happy birthday, Jak!), it was by leaps and bounds our best performance (the gap between Thursday and Sunday was huge -- but we closed an even bigger one tonight).
Tomorrow night we have off, and then final dress rehearsal on Wednesday. Then it's four days of performing! Thursday through Sunday. Turns out my mom will be in town for all of it -- she definitely would have come to all of the productions of plays I was in as a kid, but she should get an award for continuing that tradition into my adulthood!
