Tech Dress

We're at the end of the show. Miss Poppenghul, Vic Fleming, and finally Ben Hecht, one by one, have made their exits. Finally ready to confront "the boss," Selznick positions himself at his desk and reaches for the ringing phone...

And the chair slides out from under him. Even the marquee above seems confused as it epically spells out "THE WIND GONE WITH." The 5 people in the audience are killing themselves laughing, but the music still swells... and Gord's on the floor gathering his pride. That's tech dress!

Sound cues, lighting cues, blocking issues... things are a little rough, and the actors are calling out for lines occasionally, but hey, we're adjusting to the space and it's looking great.

Tech week is over, and we're looking forward to the last few rehearsals before OPENING NIGHT on Thursday. See you then.
