...And then there was a lack of light!

“After Act I, what happens next?”

Well, no one quite expected the spectacular, but obviously not purposeful, light show that followed. Every light flashed on and off randomly, until it all rested in darkness until emergency lights came on temporarily. The Cat and the Hat who had posed the question shrugged, while the audience and orchestral pit got a rather large chuckle out of the matter. However, it became rather distressing to both the pit and the cast when we attempted to continue and the lights again “stole the spotlight” of Seussical the Musical, and then the school was notified that there was a transformer fire that was causing power failure throughout our town. The fire department was to bring light to help us continue, but they deemed it too dangerous to continue so they evacuated the audience, pit, and cast from the building. It was then we had an opportunity to see outside, which we saw it was raining quite hard...

But this reminded us all of last year, when the sound board was busted, and the audience had to wait an hour for the show to start. At least we could finish it...but this year, with an audience even larger, we couldn’t...so the musical will have another showing today...

OH, but besides the musical, I can now do “doubles” on DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). It is when you use two dance pads for one person, and let me tell you it is hard...
