The Final Countdown

The cast gets in tomorrow and we're really excited. The set is looking great- huge columns- 11 feet 4 inches, to be exact- and almost equally tall walls are now on the Woodberry stage getting primed and painted. Not sure exactly how we're going to transport everything, but....

They've also built and painted a beautiful box that we're putting our "glass armonica" in. The tech crew thought that we had some drill bits that might drill through glass (allowing us to use our real glass bowls to build an actual and functioning armonica) but after a very painful and difficult to listen to trial (have you ever heard the sound of glass being drilled? Don't try it.) we decided to just pack the bowls in hidden Styrofoam to keep them in place. As the audience, you will not see this hidden Styrofoam. Don't look for it. That's why it is hidden.

In other news, the website is getting pretty close to completion- if you haven't already, go sign up to be on our listserv so you can get an e-mail when it's time to buy tickets. We'll probably send a total of four or five e-mails from this listserv, so it's not like you'll be spammed to death.

Today, I'm working on the last touches of music. I should probably get back to that...
