Publicity, Sold Out, Blocking Continued

Last couple of days haven't been so productive for me. Holed up fighting off sinus infections and bronchitus. Yay steroid shots and antibiotics!

Yesterday and today I almost wrapped up our radio and television publicity. Signed contracts for commerical time on cable television and sent our video to them. Two Christian radio stations will air spots for us. Got their information to them also.

Our two weekend matinees have completely "sold out". One other weekend performance is close to being sold out.

Blocking rehearsals have gone well for all scenes. The new scenes work well individually...now the big question will be how well do they work combined with the other scenes!

Costume Team has continued fitting and adjusting costumes. Programs Team is having a hard time getting corporate sponsors. Seems the economy is biting us there. That could cause us to go in the red when all is said and done. Set Decorations team continues to work each evening, and Set Construction team steps in here and there to fix things or sturdy things up. Reservations Team is at the church non-stop on weekdays from 9 - 4. Extras Team is pulling their hair out trying to get people to attend rehearsals...Everyone has such busy lives! Drama Choir has done a bang up job on the music. I'm actually giving them next week off..except for Saturday. Technical Teams are continuing to work on microphone assignments and lighting. Our hired sound/light guy has been getting lights and mics set up this week. Our T-Shirt Team received the t-shirts and started giving them out tonight. Everyone was excited!

These are just the teams I've seen at work. The others are all working hard to be prepared for the performances.
