Friday started off relatively slow. Not too much to be done around the office, and everything was being taken care of as far as casino set up went. It was actually a quiet day, which was unexpected with casino just a day away. The past week has been ticket sales and raffle ticket sales throughout the day, and yet it was almost 12 and no action yet.
The rest of the day went on just about the same. There were calls for tickets for the last showing of Dead Man's Cell Phone throughout the later parts of the day though. I was able to finish and start another one of my plays! Rabbit hole was such a quick read, and now on to The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. Heard this one was great also, hopefully I'll have more time with my plays once the show is over.
One of my jobs of the day was also to continue stuffing envelopes with funny money. We still needed 50 more envelopes, so I headed to Jane's to snag some. Of course being the awful decision maker I am I could not decide on envelopes. Luckily Ms. Kris, had to stop in Jane's too, and she helped me decide! Back at the theatre I began counting out funny money and putting stickers on the envelopes. I still had 20 envelopes to stuff and no more funny money left. Luckily, Mr. John had printed more and all I had to do was cut and finishing stuffing. I had 128 envelopes total stuffed and sticker-ed when I was finished :)
The end of the day was drawing near, and we got a call from Plum TV. They needed someone walk through the snow and make a fake phone call. I was voted as the one to go. JP picked me up and I got my serious snow boots (aka Dad's snow boots) from my car, and we headed to the nearby park. All I had to do was walk through the snow with "my" dog, stop, take a call from my mom, and continue walking. Even though I will not be heard in the video, I had to act like I was having a conversation. Mom, I told you, it was so cold about 5 times. I think it went well, and they said they will send us the finished product so I can see it. (another job I can add to the resume :))
Seven o'clock finally arrived, and I was back at the theatre washing out last nights drinks and preparing new ones for the nights performance for the last time. In case I haven't mentioned one of my jobs was to prepare the "alcoholic" drinks for the bar scene and final scene of the play. Each night I would wash the glasses and mix water and juice for the cosmos and water and diet soda for the bourbon. The show was our best ever, and the audience was too. It was a fantastic end to a fantastic run. It went by so fast, and I'm sad it's over :(. It was such a great experience to be part of this show. Awesome cast, awesome directing, awesome crew, and an all around awesome time. (obviously you can use awesome too much, but totally necessary) On to more new and different adventures as the intern though :)
And on to Saturday, Casino Royale!!!! Main job of the evening, coach check extraordinaire! I spent most of the night in the closet checking coats. Dawson greeted and I hung and filed coats. I spent the first hour and a half of the evening doing this and Dawson left a little more than half way through that to sell raffle tickets. By then most of the crowd had arrived, so I was just dealing with a few fashionably late patrons. The night was a huge success. We were able to make our goal, and a lot more. It was a our biggest and best Casino to date. I link it with my presence ;) I was so glad to be a part of it, and see how passionate the people of the Valley are about theatre. I was so moved and impressed with the amount of people who came and showed their support. So many people opened their hearts (and their wallets) to the cause. It was such a great feeling to be a part of the night, and see how much of an impact the Company and theatre has in the Valley. I'm so honored and privileged to be a part of it all. Thank you to everyone for making the night such a success, and for making my first event with the company one to remember! Until tomorrow...
