Five Days to go

Five days until the show(s). I'm not sure which one I'm more excited for and which one I'm more nervous for. Both will be an experience to remember. Rumour had it that I was going to smash a bass and set it on fire on stage, but I'd rather not. I've never done it before, I'd hate to get hurt for the second show, and in the past, the combination of Mifflin Street and Fire has had some interesting results...

West Side Story's 1961 Movie adaptation is on. Amazing. I consider this to be one of the few successful adaptations from stage to screen. The cinematography is great. When you're in the theatre, you only get one visual perspective on the play. When its shot on film, the film maker forces the perspective on you, thus taking away some of the stage effect. This adaptation uses enough creative lighting and proper framing to give you the impression that you're watching it on stage. The score is great, and having been shot during the era of blatant racial ignorance...its not that bad.

Today featured a busy, busy day....but at least Spring is here for now.
