Scare Tactics

Ok.

For those who know me, you know I don't scare easily. Well, today something did occur that I felt I needed to share. It was something that I wouldn't necessarily put in the "scare" category, but my heart definitely skipped a beat...

Currently at the theatre, we are running Arsenic and Old Lace. I was running around from dressing room to dressing room today distributing various pieces of information to the actors. 11 out of 12 of our actors are located in the dressing rooms on the 2nd floor of the building (which are the traditional rooms for our Main Stage Theatre, which is located on the 1st floor). Anyway, 1 actress is in the lone dressing room on the stage level due to her bad knees.

So, I'm going around dropping off information and I get to the final dressing room. I had never been to this room before. I even had to search for it because I hadn't even seen the door in passing. As I unlock the door, turn on the lights and enter the space, two dead bodies are facing me!

I had not been expecting to run into the 2 dead body props from the show (which btw, are EXTREMELY realistic)!! Let's just say, the heart did skip a beat and I'm grateful that I now know where they are being kept!

Grocery Trip

So, I'm a little late at posting this due to a number of things, but I figured someone else may enjoy to know what happened 2 Friday's ago...

So as part of my job, I take actors to the grocery store three times a week to three different stores. Friday is designated Whole Foods day. We have sign up sheets for them to write their name if they want to go.

Two Friday's ago, I headed up to the sign up sheet to see who, if anyone, was going with me that morning...these were the people on my list:

Fiona Apple
Sting
Adolf Hitler
Keith Richards
Sinead O'Connor
Michaelangelo

Fantastic...and interesting....group of people...

Got to love my job...and my actors with a sense of humor...
