SHREK Rehearsal Journal #22 (THE END)

Jan 26, 2014 Well, that’s a wrap.  Shrek’s all done, and for me CSOPA’s all done.  But to be honest, as sad as it is, I’m ready.  I think after A Year with Frog and Toad I didn’t feel like my time at CSOPA was over but now I do.  And that’s not at all … Read more

SUNDAY NIGHT. I’m currently eating an actual dinner right now.  And sitting.  And still slightly green.  And it’s awesome.  Super sorry I haven’t blogged in a while but I’ve been doing this weird thing called performing.  I’m in this show called… um… Shrek.  I think.  Either way it’s pretty awesome.  So I’m going to take … Read more

January 16, 2014 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

January 13, 2014 Dress rehearsal numero one! I’M POOPED.  We started off two hours earlier than we usually do in previous years and still didn’t get out until 11:15.  I think it’s because there’s a ton more technical additions to this show as well as fast costume and makeup changes.  No fire curtains were dropped … Read more

January 12, 2014 Today was a bit of a longer day than yesterday but still just as fun!  We started right at ten to finish the Q2Q.  The second part of Q2Q went by in about two hours.  I think this was because we were all more comfortable with the stage, the set pieces, and … Read more
