Tech Week - The Odd Couple

The guy that is playing Felix in The Odd Couple told me that he has three hundred seventy-something lines. That's a LOT of lines. So it made me curious. Yesterday, I decided to count my lines. I have 464. Whoa!

On Saturday morning, I met with Felix and we ran sections of lines together. We decided it would be good to continue working extra together since this is basically a two-man show with a few more people on the periphery. So if this show is to work well, we have to be in great form and know all of our lines and cues all the time.

Then on Saturday evening, we did our first full run-through of the show. It was slower than we would have liked it to be. It's still pretty rough in parts. But it was nice to run through the entire show.

We open on Friday. That means that this is the week that we iron out all of the problems. We have to make sure all of the props are there and all of the costumes are going to work. We have to make sure that the lights and sound cues are all in place.

I think it's going to come together. And whether it does or not, the curtain goes up on Friday.
