So I go along through the day, and I recover my equilibrium only to suddenly be struck in the middle of math class by the realization that half of the run crew won't arrive until Monday. And I need them today! So the rest of math was an agony of trying to figure out where my brain had gone. I made a lot of panicky phone calls, bought treats at the store that weren't in my budget for the cast and crew, took a shower, and was back to doing okay, when...
The set fell apart. Broke. Kaput. They don't know if it is fixable. The scene changes are at this moment, crippled. Immediately I developed a stomachache and a kink in my neck that wouldn't let me turn my head. Started techs, and managed to climb into my happy thinking tech stage manager state, despite being denied a god mike. Sigh.
It did not go as badly as it could have. And they will try to fix whatever it is tomorrow before rehearsal. One moment at a time. To my list I would like to add: A gift certificate to Sephora's.
