Hello Hello!
Im in the program for Doll's House. I didn't think I was going to make it, and was completely fine with not having it be there, but when I looked, I was listed as the Stage Manager!!!! So excited.
The other day, my director asked me to find Flamebar (a chemical to help fabric not catch on fire) and I asked her where we were going to get that in two days. Then I remembered where we were. :D On Saturday, I found the Flamebar, and dropped it off.
I got the opportunity to see Dr Foust at the Globe. Although there were some mistakes, it was very good. A great first Globe show!! After the actual show, the actors came out with red, skeleton dolls. They danced, and sang. They would be creepy if they weren't so cute! I do think that we (Grant and I) were sitting by assistant directors or assistant stage managers. They had Dr. Foust scripts out, and were furiously scribbling away in the. We believe it must've been the preview shows, because of the assistant's reactions.
Grant, (somebody I've known since highschool, for those who don't know him) is here in London getting his doctorate in theatre. He showed me the rail services here, and they are AH-MAZING!!! fantastic. They are so much cleaner, faster, and not as crowded as the tube. They also take about a half hour off my journey each day. :D. I'm using them all the time now!
At work the other day, I got to know Alexia, a girl who is interning (like me) but is from France. She is very cool, and quite fun. She's trying to improve her English, and the other day I taught her what "bellybutton" and "Sibling" was. She taught me that the French say "oi" instead of "ouch." Perhaps I'll learn more French phrases. :D
The other day, I went to the British Library. There, they had a special exhibition showing old manuscripts. I was able to see Beethoven's original manuscripts, parts of the Magna Carta, and a roll from King Henry VIII's prayer book. No pictures were allowed, unfortunately. :(
I'll try to update more! Hope all is well at home!
