Morning's At Seven is all done. The final performance was given to our smallest audience of the run. As soon as the last patron left the theatre, a team of techies swarmed in with cordless drills and hammers to tear down the set. The next show, Princess and the Pea, opens on Thursday which is a very quick turn around time. Because i had nothing to do during the actual show, i put together a little surprise for Nikki, the stage manager for P&P. I put together a scavenger hunt. I hide clues around backstage, each leading to the next and ultimately to a hidden treasure. I just hope the clues stay there long enough for her to find them because i have no idea who will be in there in the next few days.
After i struck everything on my list, l left the theatre and headed over to my Grandmother's house. Her birthday and my uncle's happened to fall on this weekend as well. By the time i got there most of my relatives had left. To celebrate Father's Day, my dad picked up some mexican food and we went back to my parent's house where my sister and i handed over the unwrapped Shop-Vac my dad had requested. We then played a few games of cribbage, sequence, and dominoes.
Finally, i got my birthday gifts a little early. Though the actual anniversary of my birth isn't until Thursday, we celebrated early because my sister starts a new job in Ann Arbor tomorrow and my parents will be out of town the last half of the week. Actually, my parents being out of town on my birthday is nothing new. My dad always seemed to have a softball tournament in another part of the state the week of my birthday when i was younger. My parents dropped my sister and me off at our uncle's house. I still give them grief for that.
So this weekend, i wrapped another show, another holiday, and another year of my life.
