A Long Night on Stage

Jan 16, 2014 14:27

Before last night, my choir had spent the last six practices at the theatre in which we'll perform. There was a set cutting off the last two feet of stage from the previous show that hadn't been taken down, but we were assured it would come down. We put up our risers, and practised and got used to our cues to come on through which door or behind ( Read more... )

Gotta love that "just some choir" comment. I would've decked the SOB if he'd been dumb enough to say something like that to my face.

So sorry you have to put up with that!

We still haven't said anything yet except to the theatre board. We'll see.

Thank you!

My mother's a retired music teacher who's been involved (either as a singer or conductor) in choirs of one sort or another for many years, so the "just some choir" thing really sticks in my craw. You're welcome.

That really sucks!

I would be pissed if I were you.

I'm pissed for you!

Hoping this situation will get better-maybe with some help.

We'll see what happens later. I'm not on the choir board, so I probably won't hear officially what happens.

The theatre should also be considering the reputation they have with current and future groups that wish to rent the premises. Word-of-mouth travels far, wide and loud, especially within the network of people in a community choir.

But then, if they didn't know about the carpenters and they react properly by having the wall taken down, the tools removed and the areas cleaned up, it would be better all around.

Hope you can find a solution to the anemia. Beef bouillon, maybe?

My iron levels seemed better after my recent bloodwork, so I guess an iron pill was enough. I'm also starting to reduce the number of shakes I'm taking in and getting back to real food so I can put iron-rich foods back into my diet. I don't feel as tired.

The theatre didn't know about the carpenters. The show is over and we just dealt with it for our four shows over three days. Still, it shouldn't have happened.

Sorry that you all had to go through that. That director is an arrogant ass. If you pay to use the theater you should get it for free after that.

Or get refunded for part of it. I'm not on the choir board, so I'll find out unofficially by asking the right person :)
