Baby Steps.

Things are starting to come together through baby steps, slow, continuous growth. I love it when I can see progress. Today a lot of progress was made on the play I’m directing. We produced flyers for the play and started distributing them. We got the flats for the set moved from the storage building they were in to the shop where we can work on them, and we started getting the last of the props together. The set is actually pretty cool. Four triangles on casters is our main backdrop. Each side of the triangle is painted with a different scene, so for a total scene change, all we have to do is rotate the triangles. It’s pretty cool. Costumes are still a bit of a nightmare for me, but through providence, I have a lead on some great costumes we might borrow (or at least someone who might help sew). We were able to get into the sound booth today and I got to look at the sound and light boards and see the diagrams of where lights are focused, so I have a good idea of what lighting needs to be done. We’ve got the music figured out for the most part, I just need to edit some of it down a bit so it’s not too long for the set changes. I’m really thankful I didn’t take on a really huge production, but I hope the kids will feel like this was one of their best performances, experiences, etc. and that most of all, they will take pride in what they did and look back on it in years to come with fond memories. After all, that’s what high school is all about right? Making memories, and learning to find your wings.
