Yes…it’s okay to be sad.

Last night The Vampire Lesbians of Sodom closed to a big crowd! Thank you to everyone that came out to support our show. Special thanks to the cast and crew of the show, the Easy Streeters and all others that helped to support the show.

That being said can mean only one thing. Today is set strike!

Don’t make that face! For me, an actor with the cold heart of a technician, this has always been my favorite part of the entire theatrical experience. Here’s a little peep into how it goes from my side. I spend all day trapped in a tiny space with Mollie and whatever other sucker we’ve conned into helping us building the set for the show. We are like work donkey’s and we don’t mess around. We struggle and fight our way through and manage to pull it off in time for opening.

Show opens. Coming to the theatre every night we deal with the different needs of a theatre company. Mollie takes tickets from the audience members. Directing bathroom breaks she also finds times to glue on eye lashes and bring programs. I lock myself into the booth and prep myself for an hour of sweltering heat behind glass like a goldfish in a twisted aquarium. After making it through the weeks of run there is only one thing on our minds…

TEARING THAT MOTHA DOWN!!

Now that’s it’s finished we get the satisfaction of ripping down every little board we battled. Everything we had to paint over and over we slap black paint over it. That set piece that we’ve recycled over and over through the season gets demolished with our bare hands. All stress we put into it is released. It’s rather cathartic.

Now with another season behind us and Reefer Madness: The Musical set to open in April there’s only one thing left to do…

Dream of the day we buy a Tiger Saw and can really get our demo on!
