Barb, playing Mrs. Pendarves in Joyful Noise, went to the doctors: a tear in the retina. Now what? Julie, the stage manager grabs a costume and a script and heads out on stage.
Master Arts Theatre is a small community theater, we do as most community theaters, we pray nothing goes wrong with our actors. It has happened.
I remember during the production of The Last of Mrs. Lincoln, one of the actors was in an accident on the way to the show. What do you do? The director, who actually fit into the actors costumes, went out on stage with a script.
The Homecoming, Dale, who was playing dad, his wife was in a car accident. His son Greg was in the light booth. I went into the light booth between scenes and Mike took the script on stage.
Ask Tim what happens. Tim has stepped into two parts from the light booth. (Brave man)
What do you do? You just keep going. It is “community” theater after all.
P.S. Julie is doing a good job in Joyful Noise.

I’m finally caught up.
We could see the storm coming, but I was not prepared for the tornado that hit. Cassie was pregnant with twins. They were very healthy and due in the middle of May. I knew, before she did, she would not be coming back after the babies were born (Her hearts desire was to be a stay at home Mom).
(Thunder crash) The babies decided to come two months early. She was going to train Julie… the next week.
Now we have no Cassie and Julie untrained.
(Thunder crash… again) Mimi broke her wrist.
Now we have no Cassie, no Mimi and Julie still untrained.
(Thunder echoes from another crash) Pris hurts her ankle.
Next the hailstorm. (Figuratively and Literally)
Needless to say, I felt buried. I didn’t have time to get my work done, let alone all the other work that needed to get done.
Yesterday, April 27, 2010… I caught up. And I praise God for His patience, loving kindness and strength.
Prologue:
The twins, Savannah and Sawyer, and Cassie and Brian, are dong fine.
Mimi will be able to take the braces off her wrist next week.
Pris is in therapy with her ankle
And Julie is coming down from a learning curve.
