Our Saratoga Springs shows were among the best we have had yet. Shows # 51 & 52 both ran off without any real hitches. At one point, Ruby's mic was muted, but I compensated for Ethan's absence in a scene change and he turned her mic back on for the remainder of the show. All in all, these shows were both quite lovely. Except there was the one minor hiccup of the fire alarm going off in the beginning moments of the 2nd show and the show having to be put on hold until the building was deemed safe to re-enter. We also had to cut the show down to about 25 minutes (and for the record, it's about 50 minutes long, normally). These things were all challenging, but entirely do-able. And almost expected, I think, at this point in the run.
Anyway - Saratoga springs was very good to us, ultimately (they brought us deli sandwiches between shows! it rocked!) and it was with high hearts that we drove to Woodstock, CT to perform for the 53rd and 54th time.
We drove into this private boarding school in the middle of the country (and the fields had all just been freshly fertilized... yes, the smell was... not enchanting) and loaded in the show for our last two performances before we headed back to the city. The shows were fine, even though we had a bunch of sound issues and we loaded our entire set out in a RECORD 40 minutes. The itch to get back was pretty strong with all of us.
Anyway, we got in last night, I had some time with my Trav at brunch today and now I'm getting set for the next jaunt out on the road. Given that we will not be out for six weeks straight this time, it feels much more do-able.
I'll let you know how this next leg goes.
