Last night's rehearsal was a little frustrating. Steve was showing it, because he thought he had some guys who would do lights for us. But they never showed. *sigh*
I can't believe it. We're going to be opening in a week. Hopefully I won't end up in the emergency room. ;)
Eight years ago in 2000, I was in a musical revue for the Muscatine Masquers; I was singing in the choir, and I had a solo number. However, the day we opened, I was feeling kind of sick and almost passed out in the mall while I was waiting for my ride. I had been experiencing abdominal pains off and on that day and was running low-grade fever. Needless to say I was taken by ambulance to the hospital where they ran some tests to rule out infection. Thankfully all I had to deal with was dehydration. After they released me two hours later, Mom took me home; I took the quickest shower in the history of showers; and then we went to the Muscatine Performing Arts Center, making it in record time. And then I went on to totally kick it with my solo number and the choral numbers. Not bad for a chick who ended up in the ER just hours before. :) The performer in me was all "The show must go on!"
It was a little scary, but it's a joke now. I sometimes tell my friends the day of opening night for shows, "I haven't ended up in the ER yet, but the day's still young." However, I hope I don't have a repeat performance of that incident anytime soon.
*keeping my fingers crossed*
