Feeling a little overwhelmed

So, as you know, our end of the season production has been postponed until the fall. Which is probably better because we're nowhere near to being ready. And the theatre won't be finished with renovations until September or October. Instead, we've opted to do a variety show with alot of dance numbers and singing.

Somehow I got volunteered to do about 4 more numbers than I had originally signed up for. Not that I mind, but I just like to know what I'm doing.

One of the numbers is a dance routine that I assumed I would assist in choreographing. Didn't happen that way.  But, I go with the flow.

I got a phone call before rehearsal yesterday wanting me to choreograph a "tango". Found out once I got there that there are no men in the routine. So, I just adjusted it so that the women could do the moves themselves.

So between doing the 3 songs that I didn't know I was doing and teaching choreography last night, that gave me only 10 minutes to run through my solo with the pianist last night. At least my solo is a number that I'm reprising. But it's been a while. It's a Marilyn routine...Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. And I still have to work on my costume.

That's another thing. Costuming. Now that I have all of this extra stuff to do, it means getting more costumes together. The ball gown that I was remodelling isn't finished, I don't have a black caberet outfit, and the Marilyn dress is still in the design stages. As far as the other outfits, I have NO idea. But, I'm sure it'll come together.

Well, until later.
