Ramona Opened!!!

And Lo, it was GOOD!!

Both shows rocked! My cast was so tight, they had so much fun. We nailed it.

And the funniest thing of the night - I stepped out of the theatre just in time to catch sight of one of the Union wardrobe people standing in the main hall with this bemused look on her face. She was watching my littlest cast member just haulin' ass down the hall with a very determined expression on her face wearing nothing but her skirt and her undershirt.

I mentioned this to the little girl's mom and, when she finished laughing, mom just replied "She takes her costume changes very seriously."

Now that the show has gone well, this is a little bit funnier.

ATY opens shows at 10:30 in the morning for a school audience, then to the public in the evening. Wednesday night, final rehearsal, the actor playing the crazy uncle didn't show up because of work.

Not a good situation.

The next morning, one of the mums brings in an emergency understudy for the role.

A kitchen broom with a fantastic cartoon face painted on it and a pink bow tie.

The actress playing his girlfriend admitted it was probably the best tension breaker anyone could have done for all of us.
