Went to PTE again today and sat in on a run-through of Act
Two before I was called away to have my picture taken with a bunch of beer
bottles. Boy, did that take me back. If you don't already know about the
beer bottles I will tell you: in honour of PTE's 40th, Half Pints Brewery has
made commemorative beer labels for two of their fine products. There are seven
labels, each commemorating a different PTE show. So you will be able to come to
PTE and order a Secret Mask beer, or a Selkirk Avenue beer. How cool is that?
And you can even "Drink The Brink."
Speaking of Opening Night. I plan not to Drink The Brink until the lobby clears out most of the way. I have a feeling I'll need to keep my wits about me. What am I supposed to wear, do you mind telling me that? One friend advises me to avoid Looking Like I'm Trying Too Hard. As it turns out, this is a look that takes a considerable amount of effort to achieve. I showed my daughter a dress I was thinking of and she vetoed it on the spot. "You are NOT wearing THAT." Back to the drawing board.
Later today at PTE today I spent a pleasant half-hour telling Kevin Prokosh all about everything. Then I watched a whole run of Act Two, and it's looking good. Real good. It's still magic to me when you write some stuff down on paper and then they do it, and it looks very much like it did in your head, and better. The rehearsal hall is a wonderful place. And I can honestly say that this whole experience has done nothing to diminish my love of theatre. I'll have to get jaded another time.
