Dear Diary,

Today we had a prop meeting, with our new prop person Desiree Maurer. Wow, I never realized the detailed work involved (not to mention resourcefulness) required to assemble props for a show. It's not just a matter of going out and buying stuff. First, there is a limited budget, secondly a lot of stuff we need is vintage and has to be found and fixed up and painted. Thirdly, a lot of stuff just has to be made from scratch. And finally none of it can break! But good news -- Some of the props we had bought for our workshop last year are finally going to be used!

Then we had a full cast rehearsal on "Turbulence" which was great. Randy and Jamibeth have totally captured the scene (without any special effects!) and it looks great. Finally that big box of barf bags will come in handy...

Then we went over the opening number "Plane Crazy" and cleaned it up a bit and did some fine tuning. I love it when the women break out their character shoes for this number!

It's cooled off so it was a lovely walk home talking to my daughter who had just gotten out of her show!
