May Day

The first day of May brought our last rehearsal before tech week, the closest an actor will ever get to the dramatic equivalent of SEAL bud/s training. As we had painted the day before, the first thing I did was look around at our work. We then pretty much did a run-thru, and worked two songs afterwards: nothing too exciting. We did, however, have some props for really the first time. As far as school goes, we had service today. I'm in the Earth Care service (read a few blog entries back for detail). We didn't get started on collection utnil really late because we had a meeting first to discuss problems concerning materials being thrown in the recycling bin (plastic, food, and other prohibited materials/unrecyclables). Subsequently, we didn't have time to enter the numbers into the Excel workbook on the computer (we always weigh the bags), but we did get it down on paper, so maybe we can get the numbers in next week. Or maybe the math teacher (she presides over the Earth service) will enter them for us. At least we managed to get everything collected. As far as a construction update, they dug the hole for the basement today, and as far as a construction update for the construction site across the street from my dad's, they've applied the black sealant to the concrete. In other building updates, my dad finished getting the doors of the garden shed mounted, now all we need to do is make the walls. At the theater, I learned that we may be getting air conditioning, which will be very nice. Once the lobby is redone this summer, we will have markedly improved environs for our patrons. Anyway, I must go to bed, as we have tech tomorrow and the day after that.
