Naturally, by the time two o'clock rolled around, there was no way I was going to rehearse. The roads were just too horrible. I ended up having to do a bit of driving myself, and a forty-minute trip took me two hours that led to my subsequent shouting at drivers who thought they could sneak up behind me in the middle of a snow storm. As I always say, drivers are practically obligated to have road rage and tonight was no exception.
You might think, dear reader, that the show tonight would be canceled, as it is Thursday, and therefor Importance of Being Earnest should be performing tonight. Well, after many phone calls, I assume, Britt announced to everyone that, you know, the show must go on and everything. If no one shows up, then they'll just rehearse.
My use of the future tense is necessary, as I have not yet left to go to the theater. I can't imagine why anyone would come tonight, considering how horrible the roads are, but I could be very wrong - tonight could be their most packed night yet. What adds even more stress is that Rich is still in the hospital - unfortunately, the procedure didn't go as smoothly as planned. Details are a little hazy as Britt was completely flustered by the snow storm and what to do when I spoke to her, but his instructions to her were: "Do the show, unless the actors agree not to."
Those are some dedicated actors.
Well, I'm off to the theater, but before I go, I leave you guys with this...a picture of what I will morphe into by the end of this year...(Genelle stole my idea, so if you go to her blog, just know that this was my idea first)...:
This is only slightly frightening...
