The Boards - DRESS REHEARSAL! - Tuesday, 12/1

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey had been drinking coffee for... longer than is really healthy to be drinking coffee when you were someone like Geoffrey Tennant. He'd been checking on the work Morgan had been doing (except the flies because, well, he didn't exactly have a fear of heights, but he had a healthy respect for them and the fact that he startled easily at times), looking in on the sets, making sure the costumes didn't scare anyone, and generally buzzing about.

Two days. They opened in two days!

You here?

Off Stage

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

For the actors, their one guest, the crew, anyone. And muffins.

Re: Off Stage

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahah. Oh god. Dinah always forgot how nervous she got right before these things. What if she tripped? What if she forgot her lines? What if she and Sam bumped skulls and knocked each other out in the middle of a romantic scene? Aahhhhh!

In the meantime she was nibbling on a muffin, eyes huge.

"Hi Dinah! Isn't this exciting?"

Re: Off Stage

Robin loved his costume! He was bouncing with excitement, rarin' to go.

He wasn't scared yet. That would happen at the actual performance.

Jack wasn't nervous, but he was tense with anticipation. Costume in place, he paced backstage as he waited for his entrance.

Ender was... pretty much a cloud of Zen. He usually was, though, so that was hardly a new thing.

Re: Off Stage

[icecoldfrost]

Unlike some of her fellow actors, Emma was not fluttery, nervous, nor tense, and she was doing her best to shore up the walls of her mental shields to keep it all out.

If it got too bad, she'd slip on the earrings she had stowed carefully in her purse, but for now Emma was just going to play with her costume and wait for her cues.

Kate was nervous, but not cripplingly so. She'd been on stage before, and her part wasn't that big.

She couldn't make herself eat a single muffin, though.

Karla was more concerned about Wee Baby Merlin behaving himself than her role. Geoffrey looked...tense...and while she was pretty sure he wouldn't threaten the baby with his razor blade, she didn't have the same surety for the mother of the squalling infant.

Perhaps she could put an aural shield around him? It sounded cruel...but also prudent.

Re: Off Stage

Hinata wasn't nervous now, not when it was only the dress rehearsal, and she fussed idly with the sleeves of her costume and flipped through the script with the air of one who has done this all before.

Re: Off Stage

Savannah wasn't all nervous, just excited. And, she loved her costume, too.

Rehearsal - ALL ACTS!

Robin, or Starling, took the stage for the premier of the players.

Re: Rehearsal - ALL ACTS!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah took the stage, and playing opposite Ender as her dad calmed her down like it always did, with the sheer silliness of the contrast.


I do entreat your grace to pardon me.
I know not by what power I am made bold,
Nor how it may concern my modesty,
In such a presence here to plead my thoughts;
But I beseech your grace that I may know
The worst that may befall me in this case,
If I refuse to wed Demetrius...

Re: Rehearsal - ALL ACTS!

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah took her place and whispered a small spell for calmness as she started her lines.

Call you me fair? that fair again unsay.
Demetrius loves your fair: O happy fair!
Your eyes are lode-stars; and your tongue's sweet air
More tuneable than lark to shepherd's ear,
When wheat is green, when hawthorn buds appear.
Sickness is catching: O, were favour so,
Yours would I catch, fair Hermia, ere I go;
My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye,
My tongue should catch your tongue's sweet melody.
Were the world mine, Demetrius being bated,
The rest I'd give to be to you translated.
O, teach me how you look, and with what art
You sway the motion of Demetrius' heart.

Crew

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Morgan was off to one side, finishing up some sort of work with the curtains. And he had a great big smile on his face.

Re: Crew

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

Sophie approached Morgan, looking conspiratorial. "Well? Did you finish the modifications?" she asked, looking hopeful.

Stage Manager

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

He's... awesome!

Re: Stage Manager

[wantstodirect]

As per usual for a dress rehearsal, Tony was running around making sure things didn't fall apart. (Or fall down, whether by divine intention or not.)

Geoffrey

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

You'll have to catch him.

Re: Geoffrey

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

After rehearsal (and a certain amount of hamming it up to get it out of her system), Sophie changed back into her street clothes, and snagged Geoffrey's arm. "I have something to show you."

OOC

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

OMG I HATE SPENDING MONEY even if the new 'puter is pretty and shiny and actually has better hardware than what she had for a much lower price. Also it's WHITE!
