Oops: Dumb Matt forgot to post a message on here noting the NEW BRIGADOON PICTURES yesterday when he actually uploaded them. The usual lesson can be gleaned from this: I am an idiot.
The new pictures include one final one from Aldersgate, and 18 more from Longwood, where we started rehearsing on Monday.
The Longwood Outdoor Theater is immense; it seats just under 2000, I’m told, and the stage is massive, as you’ll see from the pictures. I’m so stoked for this show I can barely see straight, which gets a little scary for Sarah when I’m driving. (Not that my driving isn’t already scary.)
We’ve gotten to try on some of our costumes, and mine fit reasonably well, although I’m going to bring in an old suit of my own to wear because the jacket they gave me is just snug enough in the shoulders to be a little uncomfortable. My outfit for the first act is kinda nice, albeit WARM. The pants are corduroy, with a denim shirt and a soft fleece jacket, which I expect to sweat through thoroughly before I even walk on the stage. I brought in a pair of standard yellow work boots, we’ll see how well the directors like them. At some point I need to pick up a host of black socks, and a clip-on necktie (the suit is involved in a couple quick changes).
I have some more pictures from Tuesday as well, but I haven’t decided whether or not I want to tie myself down to daily editing-commenting-uploading extravaganzas, since technically I should be working. What with being at work and all.
