"The Disney folks might send a photographer to document the play, but they also might send one to document Annette either competing in a swim meet, or swimming, with Monica, as a mermaid. They may even want to photograph Judy and Sharon working on stage crew." "So true. The world doesn't revolve around us, of course." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Jo Anne came over to where they were. "While the Disney folks aren't here to cover the play, we do have a visitor," she said, pointing to where Andrea Joy, R.N., the redheaded school nurse, stood by one of the doors. As usual, she wore wine-colored scrubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rand Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 (Drama Club members have at least some familiarity with stage makeup due to Mehron Mini-Pro® Student Makeup Kits club members purchased. Jo Anne suggested that additional supplies could be purchased from either the local drug store makeup aisle or a local makeup supply house.)

steriaca Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Rob pulls off the gag. "I guess it is makeup time then? How long before the raw run through?" He knows enough from the times he is doing anything for the Club that they do a once over of the show without tapping to see how all the planned segments will flow together. Both he and Doreen are masters of short time scrip memorization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Rob then blinked. His memory must be faulty, or being in the blue team ment he wasn't around much. They did a run through for each skit before filming it, not each show. The show is comprised of many skits, and they film multiple shows in a day. That also doesn't take into consideration the serial, which is filmed somewhere else on another set of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't worn a dress since, well, the last anime convention." Not exactly a lie, considering he is Lady Heart, and that was the first time he transformed into her. "Of course, this is different then dressing like your favorite anime, manga, or Japanese pop culture character. Besides, we don't know today's agenda. Is today a dress rehearsal, or just a rehearsal? When exactly is the play? You can count on me to remember all the songs before show time, of course." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Play's day after that." She sighs, then adds, "Meanwhile, I have to fix a fault with the second electric and the needed drapes and set pieces are going to be picked up tomorrow by Jim Reese, the Stage Crew's student head." "Everyone, clear the stage," Jo Anne says. "Lights are being lowered from the fly loft." Once everyone is clear, she says, "All yours, ladies." "HEADS UP!" Judy calls out. "LINESET 6, SECOND ELECTRIC, BEING FLOWN IN!" She lowers the bank of lights to three feet off the stage floor, then locks it in place. "All yours, Sharon."

Mark Rand Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Jo Anne and Andrea stop by the guard's desk and Jo Anne says, "Some of the Stage Crew members are staying late to make repairs to the stage lighting." At that moment, Annette and Monica, both in black, arrive at the desk from their swim team practice. "We should join them," Annette says. "Agreed," Monica says. "Fine," the guard says. Jo Anne and Andrea leave the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Rob and Doreen leave the stage through the outside entrance (as opposed to going through the school again) and go to their local McDonald's and order their usual. They are, of course, still near by the stage, as it is only a couple blocks away.
