Today, the cast of “Stage Lights” had its final rehearsal in the various cubby holes and basements of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Logan Square. Tonight, in the wee small hours of the morning, we move our traveling circus into the Theatre Building Chicago, where I hope to see all of you and many more for our opening night in four days (!).
It’s go time, sports fans. From the moment we get the keys to the theatre, we will have 24-hour access to the space, and we will use every minute of it to construct our sets, adjust our lights, perfect our performances and, I dunno, sprinkle the stage with holy water. Jessie, Alexis and I don’t plan on sleeping much, and when we do, it will likely be in sleeping bags on the stage.
Things are looking good. Updates will be daily from now until we close, but they will be short and most likely full of the roller coaster emotions I will be experiencing as my little dream show stirs to life.
Here we go, boys and girls. Let’s do this thing!
