With Midsummer up and running my attention has turned towards Directorfest 2009.
I am co-production managers with Peggy Samuels this year-and having two heads in better than one. Together we are organizing 4 30minute plays that will be put together in one night of theatre. Each show has its own set, lights, costumes, sound, cast, director, and stage manager. There are a lot of personalties in the room-good but overwhelming at times when we are brainstorming.
We began tech on Saturday morning at 8am-yes the Saturday after Midsummer opened-and will be in tech/dress through the opening on Thursday December 10th. Since I have been doing the prep work Peggy will be taking the lead during the actual tech (save for the 3 days I am here). Her stage manager background is immensely helpful in this situation, as well as her experience with Directorfest.
I have to say, while I love working on this show both production managing and working at the Drama League is a big undertaking this week. With everything together I will be working 150 hours this week alone. Insanity! But that is why I am in theatre yes? To work hard and tell stories.
Also tonight is the big ART/NY holiday party-I am going to pop in during our dinner break at the theatre. Should be a lovely time.
So far no more reviews for Midsummer have come out yet, but we know there are 2 or 3 more cooking somewhere.
Happy Monday!
