Day 3 of rehearsals & an on-looker is in the Green Room

It's mad here! Absolutely barking! Some would call it organised chaos, others would describe it as one sandwich short of a picnic hamper!
Since the cast arrived on Tuesday our photocopier has died, our printer is about to kick it and one of our software systems has decided to do its own thing, one of the cast has had their mode of transport keyed, some spare costumes are stuck up North in the snow, we're late signing off the panto programme but other than that, all is well at Watersmeet!
We're actually very excited and every day brings not just new problems but loads of laughter. The cast really are great and are keeping us entertained at the Box Office as they arrive and leave after each long day.
The stage is looking very interesting! At the moment, there's scenes from Peking mixed in Widow Twankey's laundry, the statue of Liberty propped up against another piece of set - how does she fit into the story? - a beautiful Chinese temple next to a mangle...I'm sure it will all come together and look stunning, and all in time for opening night!
The strangest requests this on looker has had so far is: Have you got any scout shorts and can you print my face so it can go through the mangle...
Don't forget to book your tickets for Aladdin so you can see how all the jigsaw puzzle comes together.
