Since breaking down I have been in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We were in Ft. Lauderdale for a day off (which I spent at the dealership), a show day at the Miniaci (where all frequencies seemed full) and we opted to stay one extra day instead of driving halfway to Alma GA and then driving the rest of the way the next day. Ft L was fun; we stayed with Josh in his condo and were able to go to cheesecake factory, see a show, make dinner, go to the beach and watch some Golden Girls. All in all pretty enjoyable.
Alma GA was less so. I am pretty sure my phone was on roaming the entire time and small town south isn't my most favorite place to be. The show at Bacon Primary School went well with the exception of a few minor blocking problems due to the house taking a huge stroll Stage Right on it's last rotation. It was great to be back in an elementary school and really makes me consider teaching again.
And we had our first re-routing. I had been calling the Gospel Church in Montgomery AL for over a week with no response. On Friday I handed the calling torch to Theatreworks and they tried several numbers before cancelling the show. During our lunch break yesterday I called in for instructions and I was told they were cancelling the show and giving us new travel plans. I spent my hour making sure I could get to Montgomery from Alma (just in case) and wondering what our new route would be.
Theatreworks decided to send us to a small town just east of Tallahassee so that we would be on I-10 for our drive to Hammond LA. Unfortuantly that also meant we were no longer going to Montgomery and the cast had decided to cancel the TWUSA reservations and go with some hotel rooms we found on Priceline. Therefore we were out the money for those hotel rooms but still had to pay for our rooms in small town FL.
Needless to say the cast was upset. However, TWUSA does warn us that they can change our schedule whenever they want. We are driving their vans, spending their money and working for them. TWUSA also reserves hotel lodging for us at all sites and if they rooms in Montogomery had been the same rooms they had originaly reserved then they would have been out the money.
So today after our breakfast we are going to be making our way across the south into Mississippi. Ahh the joys of touring. Isn't this job glamorus?!
Onward and hopefully Upward.
