So this year Viewmont High is doing the musical "Cats." So far this musical has been very time consuming and very demanding. Which is ironic because for the first half of the show, very little is done backstage.. the only thing I do is pull two curtains, and lights. Its easy, the solid black curtain goes up to kinda set the scene and then the see through curtain "scrim" goes up. and then we catch a flying cat, and thats about it till the curtains come back down for intermission. 2nd act however, EVERYTHING HAPPENS AT ONCE!!! I have to get three fog machines going all at the same time... easy right?!? not when one is on stage right one is in the middle of stage and the other is on stage left. not to mention i have to make the lift go up and bring down the Stairs "heaviside layer" all at the same time.... then bring the lift down.. If i can do this everynight like i did on tuesday i will be very happy with myself. Actually its more of a very proud and accomplished feeling, Its one feeling that nobody understands until they run a show and make it work, yes the applause is usually for the cast, but i take it as they are clapping for me too. *cheesy i know. but hey it works..* that is what is happening back stage if you want to see more of the cast and what they are doing ... go here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=587567868#!/group.php?gid=305209469002&ref=mf
