There was?? SO sweet!
Well I did need it. Haha. On Wednesday when we loaded in I found out for the first time (nice of someone to tell me ) that we had to strike the set after every show, I mean literally take ti aoart and then rebuild it before the show, which was hard considering we had no crew and only 30 minutes before the show to begin with. Also on that day, they asked me "So do you want to run lights or sound?"  AND we had no walkies, I was so glad I had the foresight to hire my very good friend as a PA or really she became de facto ASM.
Our one and only tech rehearsal was an unqualified disaster, but in theatre lore, bad dress rehearsal=good opening night. And it was good! Lots of industry people came, and even someone from a big movie studio. I've been told we are very close to the backing for an Off Broadway run and that I would hear from them, so that may mean and equity contract for me. woo woo!
Only thing is...get this shizz...there's one guy i really refuse to work with again. He has been giving the PA/ASM attitude all week and he always gave me attitude when giving him line notes (hence the "shaky with dialogue" in the review...the a-hole)... so for our Saturday matinee, they were supposed to be there an hour early, or half hour the latest (industry standard and just common sense as well)...the show was at 2...he shows up at 1:55. The rest of the cast is trying to figure out how to skip his lines in case he doesn't show up, but I told them to just hold for him for now and stayed calm. I didn't yell at him for being late (had I known then why I might have) I just tried to get him ready and going ASAP. He lad elft his costume on this shelf, but it was ripped, so me and kerry the pa came in early to sew it.,.. I love how concerned he was about his ripped costume... He's looking for it on the shelf...EVERYONE is trying tot ell him it's int he dressing room already...but he he never listens so Kerry yells loud so he hears it "It's in the dressing room!" And this guy says "I heard you now, B---h!"
and then prances into the dressing room with his middle finger in the air. I said "That's it!" and I must have looked scary because everyone CLEARED out as I followed him into the dressing room and started yelling at him. I said "You are not going to talk to her like that, you have no right to disresxpect people especially when you show up at 5 minutes to curtain and hold everyone up" I think I said something like that. I was just majorly ******. Then he rolls his stupid little eyes at me and says "S*ck my C*ck you B****h" I just turned on my heel and walked away from him, told the ASM I'd be back and went straight to the director and told him. Later I found out he was late because he was standing outside the theatre BSing with people who had seen the show, soaking up the attention and another actor who was alte made himself later to stop and say "We have to go..." and of course he brushed him off...then later he's sweet as pie to me saying "oh honey I just got your message..sorry I was late, MTA" I just smiled and walked away. Everyone kept askign me "How the hell are you so calm?" "It's my job"
Then I heard the director approach the actor on it and he had some FAIRY TALE about how he came in late so he didn't have time to kiss us and say Hi to us so we were testy with him.... WHAT!?!!??!?!?!? UGH
And then a couple of other actors told me "Steer clear of him after it's over, he has it in for you"...
The rest of the cast was SO behind us...and it's really funny...one of the actors (the southern belle drag queen) was really ******, and we have these crowd/bar scenes going on in the bacground and the whole time he's looking nice and saying to the other actor "I hate you, don't even talk to me you little ******." 
Anyway, I got through it... But seriously....ugh!
