i don't know about you...

...but i feel something scraping against the fragile walls of my rectum right now. but it feels too big to be a brick. i suspect it's a whole house.

leaving the office in 20 minutes.

hope i don't let you guys down.

-davina-

tick, tock.

and so HILTD opens tomorrow.

it seems like yesterday that we had auditions for the show, and now the show's ready for an audience. it's damn fast when you're busy, busy having fun. we've been through a lot in the past two, three months - rehearsal space, set building, shortage of hands, production money, sleep deprivation, putting up with constant indecisiveness from the director i.e. me - all for six performances at the esteemed TASB. vogel is the bomb. the lighting's awesome. the soundtrack's great. the set rocks. the costumes rock harder. the cast will blow you away. the creative crew cannot get any better. the production team is, in one word, amazing.

and we've all had our ups and downs - good runs of the play, not-so-good runs. good days, not-so-good days. the cookbook for a great show, in my opinion.

bloody hell. i can't sleep.

come catch our show, and let me know what you think!

Butterflies: sudah sampai!

Every year, I get involved in a production with The Oral Stage.

It's like an annual pilgrimage, a Haj of sorts if you wish.

It's the eve of The Opening.

And the butterflies have arrived.

*flutter flutter*

Then I remember something from the last production.

It was hours before opening. Someone said butterflies weren't just fluttering by anymore.

They were clawing in our stomachs.

A round of mojitos from La Bodega for the cast before each and every show would be nice.

I think the butterflies will enjoy the mojito.

An Awwwwww Moment

So I got to watch the final round of rehearsals yesterday (I know! Lord only knows why Kel wants my opinion, but hey, it was cool for me! :P) and it was the bomb, really.

Oh, and I will keep this short even though I'm (extremely) bored at work :P

Everyone has come so far from Day 1 and I felt really privileged to be able to watch them grow. Truly, the audience will never know just how much effort these guys have put in; they deserve sell-out crowds and standing ovations just for the sheer energy they've given to this production! Cast, crew and the entire production team - everyone works together amazingly well, with immense professionalism and dedication to this project. I really don't think TOS could've asked for a better bunch of peeps and I'm so happy for my dearest Kel that it's worked out so well.

Whatever happens from the 4th-8th of June, everyone involved in HILTD can pat themselves on the back (and anywhere else they may so desire) because this is most definitely a job well done. I'm really proud to have helped you guys in some teeny tiny way!! :)


Ooh, one last note - L'il Bit's outfit is H.A.W.T!! :D Haha, can I borrow once the show's over? ;)
