another week in the can
February break has been everything except what it is supposed to be. Rarely did I find myself at home or hanging out with friends. Predominately I found myself at school or in the car driving back and forth. Rather than spend an unnessesary amount of time discussing the events of the past week, I have decided that rehearsals for the Bacchae can be summed up in a two hour period, and more specifically, the trials of Flynn and Gavin.
Gavin has had a rough week. Having left due to his treatment by Tyler on at least one occasion, things were less than harmonious between himself and everyone else on the face of the planet except myself and a few select others. Trying to find peace in the lighting booth today, Gavin was with Vitale, Kevin and Toop listening to a radio (which turned out to be Brothers) loudly and singing along to it. Meanwhile, Alicia screamed for tech to accompany the actors for the scene and I read a book and played with Justin's cellphone. After about 10 minutes as such Flynn came out of the abyss, went into the booth, ripped the radio out of the wall (thus damaging the board temporarily) and threw it ten feet in the air to the seating. This prompted the manhunt of Gavin by Flynn and Flynn by Gavin.
Fastfoward half-an-hour. Flynn and Gavin enjoy an hour chat with Alicia in the hall while sound plays Queens of the Stone Age and the Beatles and frisbee gets thrown around the theater (reminiscent of freshmen year). Of course the downer actors got in the way of hour fun, but whatever.
Ah, crew. Never boring (except when it is).
