I was reminded of the existence of the Jaeger Designer. Go make your own. Have fun.
And while researching the Isle of Sky tartan I ran across a Tartan Designer. Pick your own colors, thread counts, etc… and get a reasonable look at what it’d look like when actually woven.
So, I’ve kind of spent the last eight weeks building three different shows. The first to go up was “Marriage of Figaro” about three weeks ago, then “Anatomy of Gray” last week, and a couple days ago we opened “Eurydice”. I’ll talk more about the whole process later but Eurydice is most on my mind, for obvious reasons.
The thing that sticks out most right now is something that happened at the opening matinee for a bunch of high-school students. After the show the cast and crew came out and sat on set and took some questions from the audience and there was this one girl in the front row who asked about the baptism theme and if that was intentional (it wasn’t on our part, but might be inherent in the story). After her question, she just sort of sat there sobbing while the cast answered a bunch of other questions. When we finished up I remarked to Mat (playing the role of Father) that she looked like the kind of girl who’d go home and start up a Tumblr about this play.
Then last night Gill and I were at the opening night performance and I’m positive baptism-girl was sitting behind us with a bunch of her friends. After the play was over I overheard her say “This play just gives me so many feels” and I knew that if we hadn’t banned video recording that there’d be a bunch of sepia-toned animated GIFs of our actors in a couple of days.
