Opening Night

It goes on pretty soon, just a few hours.  But apparently this is where it gets interesting–one of our number is sick.  Really sick.  At the moment I’m not sure whether we’ve got a full cast or not.  We’ve got someone on standby to read the part, and I’ve re-arranged the tunes just in case.  So now I’m waiting for a phonecall.  Y’know, they tell stories about things like this.  It’s not supposed to happen in real life.  No sense getting upset about any of it, though.  I know that the script and music we’ve got out of the workshop process is the prize here.  The performances are just the bonus, where we get to show folks what we’ve been up to.  Still, I’m hoping we have a full crew tonight.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.
