no rest for the wicked

so, not having actually finished directing the show yet, we have our 1st little in-house audience this evening: playwright earl lovelace, design team of paulette alfred + michael guy james, sound+lights (whose names i'll confirm then) and warrenman as a trusted set of eyes for my feeback, oh, and one of our sponsors (right word, sok?).
but i feel better about how the cast wukkin than @ start of the week, and i'll hopefully have roughed in the latter part of the piece before we start today's designer run. i love the songs, lovin salcedo for being my bes' guitarman, and the voices for the wash-foot+jump-in, cause i know i gave them no prep for this part, except to say it was coming. i is no musical director; thank the universe for the master errol ince.
our set building somewhere, i hear; saw the model last night finally, but it had been thrown around in the back of somebody's vehicle since saturday with the furniture pieces not glued down, so by the time it reach me it was useless, since what i needed most was to see how michael placed the furniture in the 2rooms. sigh. so when he reach designer run today and i ask him to dress the rooms of the model, i hope wha' we been wukkin with is wha' he building...
earl should be able to resolve the last scene asap if i can direct them enough to show him something of how it works as it stands with the current roughly rewritten rewrite. if i do my job, we should be fixing final scene saturday, stumbling through sunday, running monday+tuesday, ready for tech wednesday. right? right.

walk good.
ps: photos sooncome; have to finish editing a paying ting...
