Well, here we are, it is 12:30am...we just got back from dress rehearsal #2, for the Costa Rican cast. Things were a little smoother and then bumpy in other parts. Everything will be great for the performance on Saturday night.
I ordered a carrot cake today for the cast, they have been a joy. It has been wonderful to see everyone pull together to make it all happen. We have no stage-mangers, no props manager, no costume assistants and no set changers. I am told this is normal in Costa Rica. Amazingly, we all just chip in and things get done. I think I will probably have zero tolerance in future productions if one of my colleagues isn't ready for the entrance...there is really no excuse to not be at the correct side of the stage before your entrance!!!
Tomorrow we have the small recital for and American school here called Marion Baker. In between the time we have to go to the main bank and pay our "exit tax", so we can leave the country. I also need to pack all my bags, since we need to move out on Saturday morning, since the girl who normally rents here returns then.
Then it will be on to performance night and I leave on Sunday morning back to the USA!!
