I'm having a hard time keeping up with my latest show, noSIGNAL. I'm stage managing, but I'm falling behind on a lot of the tasks I'm supposed to be doing -- keeping track of information, keeping people updated, etc. It's frustrating.
The show itself seems to be going alright, although it's running what I would classify as "late" -- we're not as far along in the process as we should be. I suspect a lot of that is the unique nature of the show.
This is a show which can't be called a play, and can't be called a concert, but contains elements of both. If you go in expecting either, you'll be dissappointed, but if you go in with an open mind, you'll probably be delighted. The script is still being tweaked, but it's close to done.
Unfortunately, one of the problems is that we're working in a theater which is used to dealing with finished shows, and their attitude to getting certain things done (like sound, tonight) reflects that -- they're not in the fringe mindset from which we come. So, we're only going to have proper sound set up (remember, part concert) on Saturday, a few days before we open. Not pleased about that.
On the positive side, I'm really enjoying the music and the play aspects of the show. I think it's going to be an amazing performance, although I'm expecting people to come away wondering what the hell they just watched. There's no message, no plot, not really identifiable characters for the most part. Still, a very cool show.
Anyway, it's far too late to even think about anything beyond bed, and I've got this same ridiculous schedule for the next two weeks. I'll survive, but I might be a zombie by the time I'm done.
