I think I can. I think I can.

Coming to Catawba has thrown me into the theatre with full force; it's just a little more force than I expected. Lately, I've been spending more time in the theatre than in class or sleeping. So, for the past five nights I've been teching for Women of Lockerbie and I'll continue to tech every night until Saturday. It doesn't require me to do much; a lot of laundry. 

On top of my 10 hours working in the shop I've been here, the theatre, from 5:15-10:30, to make sure costumes are in order. But it's not just wardrobe, I'm also working on the upcoming show, The Last Journey of 6330. What is that? It doesn't sound familiar... you instinctively say. To answer your first question: It's about trains. A train. 6330. Now, for the second: that's because it's an original piece. The director, actors and other creative thinkers have come together to piece together railway stories, myths and music. We finally have a semi-script and it's still in progress. 

Along with wardrobe for Lockerbie I'm also trying to piece together multimedia for 6330. I've been in production meetings for the past 4 Wednesdays and they will continue until the show is up on it's feet and on the stage. Multimedia sounds kind of unclear, I know. I thought the same thing when I was told that, too. Here's a definition: during the show there are to be photographs and video clips of trains and all things related being shown as projections. I am to gather the photos, videos, and whatever else that is needed along with working the projector which is done through computer(?) To be honest, I'm still not fully clear on my job, that's why I'm meeting with the director tomorrow. But in the meantime, I've found some great photographs...
