Dear Diary,

Today was the photo shoot! Ah, the glamorous life of a stew! Adriana from our press agency Shaffer-Coyle set up a great photo shoot with an amazing photographer Ben Strothman down on 36th and 9th. We need some photos for the press, reviews and a million other occasions!

We did the shoot with Faith (Allison Spratt), Janet (Jodie Langel), Holly (Hollie Howard), and Brett (Richard Todd Adams), and...gulp...me!

Since we didn't have our official costumes ready yet, our fabulous costume designer Elizabeth Payne got some hot pink and teal waitress uniforms and SHORTENED them, adding wings, earings, colourful scarves, and black boots. Rick was in a pilot's uniform complete with cap! I was tastefully dressed in light blue pants and top. We even had our make up and hair done! Once the shooting started it really was amazing - it came together so well and so playfully! I had some solo shots done as well as me with the cast. Ben is such a great guy to work with! I can't wait to see the pics!

Then it was off to rehearsal for a complete read- and sing-through of the show. This was really important because it gave the whole cast a really good sense of the flow of the show. Then we worked on staging the stew zoo scene. What a great bunch of ladies we have, each of them developing their own character and a great sense of comraderie!

Finally, I went home and washed off the mascara and hairspray!
