Mary Jo, the volunteer coordinator at GRCT, sent me an e-mail saying she needed help on the fly rail for Scrooge. It's a very busy time of the year, but i'd do anything for MJ, so i agreed to pick up a few shifts. I went down to the theatre today at noon-thirty. I had no idea what i was getting into. Six hours later we still hadn't gotten thought act one. There are so many small things that have to work together perfectly on the deck and often it took many tries to get it just right. While the deck crew was running around like crazy, we stood motionless on the fly rail. We had two cues in those six hours. I stayed long enough to get some free food. I had a bowl of the famous Notter chili that was made in a giant kettle hanging over smoldering briquettes in the back alley. I guess that meal has become an official Civic-Christmas-show staple. It will be an interesting run.

Alas, I'm doing my own show at the moment.....*sigh*
