It Was Inevitable

I’ve been enjoying the freedom to spend time writing and interacting here but life is about to get a little bit crazy. The official cast list for our community theatre’s production of Shrek the Musical was posted over the weekend and I have my first production meeting this evening. In preparation for taking copious notes this evening, I have compiled a list of costumes. 34 cast members 70 separate roles (and 70 costumes) Our opening night is less just shy of two months away. I’ll try to get here occasionally and keep you all updated on my son’s progress on the Appalachian Trail but otherwise, I think I’m going to be a little too busy to do much interacting!

@SophiaMorros I admit that I would not know where to start.

Thanks, Anna. I'm just a tad overwhelmed right now. Too many things that need to be done and I'm still in the research phase.

@LadyDuck I really couldn't even do much of the research until I was given my marching orders from the director. Now that I know what she wants I can get moving.

Oh dear! What a workload! Just post occasionally and keep us up-to-date. You don't need to respond to any of my posts till - let me see - maybe late June? when I'll be back from our trip overseas. I hope it all goes well.

@SophiaMorros I hope you'll get the chance to tell us about some of the creative ways you'll concoct these costumes.

By late June this will all be behind me. It's the mountain in front of me that's keeping me awake nights at the moment. Enjoy your trip, I look forward to reading about it!

I know that you can do it, and I'm sure that nobody else doubts it, otherwise they wouldn't have called on you for it. Good luck.

I think they called on me to do this show because no one else wanted to tackle it. I think I will be calling in a LOT of favours among my friends that sew. Luckily for me, both my daughters and my bonus daughter are all willing and eager to help (of course two of them have end-of-semester assignments and final exams to deal with in the next couple of weeks).

Sounds like a challenge....and we both know how we respond to challenges. Good luck. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.

I have this funny feeling I won't be doing a whole lot of sleeping over the next two months.
