The costumes will be great for the upcoming show. (They really are spectacular. Our costumer is a creative genius, and I'm not exaggerating a bit.) Our director, Tom, talked with a musician/choreographer(?) today and that went well too. The drops look like they will work in the space, which greatly reduces the amount of work for me to have to create them from scratch.
So in just a couple days we've pulled an entire show together with minimal stress and strain on everybody. That's really something, people. For those of you not in any way "theater connected", it's almost unheard of.
Of course there are still the issues with the lights, but I have my wonderful electrician brother-in-law working on that for me. We will see what simple, multipurpose LED lighting systems we can find and how much they cost. Getting the information to the board is the objective, what they choose to do with the information is up to them.
This project has really given me a new burst of creativity. I'm working on more miniatures, designing more dollhouses, have a lead on a possible dollhouse builder, and am happy as a pig in mud. When I have a thousand things to do, I guess that's when I'm at my best.
