opening night
After what can only be described as a week of personal hell with tons of house drama (broken windows, drywall repairs that took forever, construction crews in my living space freaking out my cats) and a week of incredible joy working on the previews for Die! Mommie, Die!, we opened last night.
And we opened pretty flawlessly I must say. The show ran eerily smooth from start to finish. Even the acid trip sequence, the heaviest tech scene we have, went well. And a good thing at that because there were tons of press in the audience along with the Jeff committee.
Sadly I couldn’t make it to the opening night soirée at Joey’s because I had a very early start at work this morning, but I’m sure everyone was thinking what I was thinking:
We frickin’ rocked the house.
So this morning when my iPhone began to ring with the sounds of e-mails filling my inbox, it was no surprise when David sent the cast & crew and note saying we’d been Jeff Recommended. We’re not on their website yet, but the recommendation is in.
I’m proud to be a part of the production. But above all, I’m happy that my friends are being recognized for their true talents. It’s a major win for Handbag and honestly, accolades aren’t everything, but when the community says “Hey, good job!” it really does feel good.
Congrats everyone!
