The Boards - Richard III, CLOSING NIGHT - Thursday evening

[magdaofslovenia.livejournal.com]

Now was the winter of their discontent... The last night of Richard III was starting very soon. Still no sign of their errant Director, but Tony seemed to have everything well in hand. Sophie had counted up receipts from Tuesday, and they were doing quite well. The students had certainly given it their all on Tuesday night.

And Geoffrey may have cast them, encouraged them, and directed them, but everyone in the theater tonight had their own reasons for wanting this last evening of the play to go well.

"Thirty minutes, everyone. Our Stage Manager says places in thirty."

[OCD on its way up!]

"You're going to live with Peter?" Karla asked, giving voice to her inner-Yenta. She gave him a merry smile. "You will remember to go to class sometimes, won't you?"

"Of course! We're not going to--I'm too much of a nerd to miss my classes. He moved into my room last summer and I went to all of my workshops." Granted, he didn't get as much work done outside of class as usual, but that wouldn't happen with college, surely. "I'll go to class and he'll go to work and we'll both be good and responsible."

"And just send text messages," Karla said with an impish grin.

Yeah, she listened to radio.

Sam's cheeks flushed as he tried to hide his embarrassment. "Only when we're apart and on breaks and won't distract each other from our very important work."

Karla chuckled. "I love that you can be the embodiment of wickedness on the stage and still flush at that," she said, deciding to be a good little sibling and stop teasing. "Sam, you're in love. Anyone who'd take you to task for something like that is just dreadfully cold-hearted."

"Or it's Dean. He has his own set of rules about stuff involving me and love," Sam said, although he was smiling more now.

"He's a big brother," Karla said with an exasperated sigh. "They were invented solely for the purposes of being difficult."

Older cousins fell into this category, too.

"But only real big brothers," Sam insisted. "Fake ones aren't difficult at all."

"Fake ones are wonderful," Karla said with a happy grin. "Much more reasonable. And better to talk to."
