"Fifth of July" Opening Weekend: Stop the Tape

We did it!  We finally opened!  Wow.  What a weekend.  We had two great houses, both full of positivity.  I have to say it was strange to hear laughter and lack thereof, in some cases.  Lines we were expecting laughs got none (crickets), and lines I didn't think were that funny got roars.  Like, what's so funny about:

"Everyone did it with June."

Really?  Roars of laughter?  I am a mother for Christ's sake.  Have some respect.

Kidding.  I was a total floozie.

My character.  My character was a total floozie.

Overall we had a great time.  There were even some "magical" moments.  And, of course, you have to love live theatre.  Our tape recorder broke at the top of the show.  The tape recorder that plays through and is a part of a large portion of the show.  That was fun to cover up.  You have to be quick on your toes!  Or, just start laughing, as I did.  Whattya gonna do?

Thank god tonight is a pick up rehearsal.  I have been miserable back in real life.  It's sooooo real.

I need to see some seventies face and chest hair to break me out of this funk!
