DAY FOUR
Margaret and I met earlier today to make up for lost time yesterday and we were very productive. It was a day of less exciting jobs, but very necessary ones. We moved two very heavy platforms from the scene shop to the black box and fixed our tape layout to start. After that, we dove into the costume closet to see what we could find. After going through many mislabeled bins and boxes, we found all three button up shirts we needed for my character, Hal, as well as good black jeans and t-shirts. For Cathy (less successful), we got  a sweatshirt. Tomorrow we're heading to the rummage sale, and after our search we now know exactly what to look for. We looked at different lighting options and reassessed our prewritten schedule. Now that we're in it, its good to re-plan and see what elements we are devoting too much time to and what needs more. After rehearsal, Margaret and I found a lone woman wandering the meeting house. She told us she was looking for the boys and girls club performance in the "little theater on campus." In a panic, Margaret and I rushed to clean up the black box in fear of a children's group coming to do cinderella in the space we had just filled with wood and furniture. The woman left and boys and girls club never arrived. I wish I had a better end of that story, but neither of us know quite what was going on.

Day Three Today was not as productive as yesterday. Margaret and I got a late start, admittedly my fault, so we didn't have as much time to work. With Once on This Island coming up fast, I spent most of my time in the morning working to complete the lighting design. When we met up, Margaret had already been working for half an hour or so. She, being the one with more carpentry/set building experience is taking the lead on that end of things, so she had begun planning exactly what we need where. To me, everything she said sounded like arbitrary numbers in a different language, but hopefully I will learn. I'll be leading the lighting/sound charge, so we made a plan to make Saturday a tech day and jump into it. We could not meet after lunch because we had an interview with Ethney about our proctor experience (and our senior project overview/progress)! We met again during senior study hall with Joan to get an idea of what costumes we have available to us and see what we need to ge...

DAY SIX Today Margaret and I spent the morning at a rummage sale in New London. I didn't quite know what to expect from it, but we ended out walking away with some cool pieces of clothes for our characters and ourselves. Everything was under $2.00 (Crazy!), so if we were on the fence about a pair of pants or shirt we just brought it back and paid the extra $0.50. The rest of the day was spent mostly on the main stage musical (the lighting of which is now near complete). Rehearsal started at 12:30 and we wanted to eat lunch, so once we got back from the rummage sale we called it a day. TODAY'S HOURS: 2.5 TOTAL HOURS: 17

DAY NINE Today was not super productive. With Margaret (totally understandably) gone again today, I kept chugging away and filled in the lighting plot. Hopefully everything will work as I set it on the plot, but there's definitely room for error/experimentation. Other than that, I cleaned the black box for the boys and girls club, mainly moving props and lights back into storage and the green room. I talked with Joan for a bit again tonight, and got to see Margaret at rehearsal tonight. Though she was just reading lines and not spending much time up and about, it was good to touch base in person and check in on the project. Hopefully, if she can keep food down, she'll be in tomorrow and we can do a run through. If she's feeling sick but comes in anyway, maybe we'll watch the movie for research.
