Quantum Physics: The Musical

It's 11 pm on Monday night. We open Friday. Tech is Wednesday. For those of you who don't know, normally in a theatre, technical rehearsals will take place over three to five days - long, twelve hour days. For the Fringe, all shows get three hours total. Besides which, you have only fifteen minutes to set up everything you need before each performance, and another fifteen to get it all out of the theatre again. All of which makes for most Fringe shows having low technical requirements. Well, our show is all about the performances, the music, the dancing, the comedy - so we're leaving the "quantum world" special effects to your imagination. But this is the point - again for those of you who've never been involved in a theatre production - where everyone gets tired, everyone's working incredibly hard, everyone's trying to get it together, to get the show where it needs to be for opening night. All over the city theatre folks are pulling long hours. I've spent the day listening to the recording of the CD that we made last night. In my heart I'm really excited, even if in my adrenals I'm exhausted from all the coffee I've been drinking to keep awake.
