Max and Ruby are on the road. On Tuesday morning we got up and drove to Richmond VA where we spent the night at a Red Roof Inn. The next morning we got up and drove to Lumberton NC. That was a pretty short drive so we were able to spend some time in the metropolis known as Lumberton. (Which by the way was not named after Lumber but a guy named Lumbee)
After spending about 40 minutes trying to convince the front desk people at the HoJo to not charge the Theatreworks credit card and instead run our personal cards we finally got into our rooms. My room was bigger than my entire apartment in NYC. We had frozen dinner night in our room after a trip to Kmart and watched Waiting for Gufman.
Today we got up and went over to Givens Performing Arts Center for our first performance. After loading in for TWO HOURS the set was finally up and we started the show on time. Well, close to on time. The site staff forgot to give the sponsor a mic to use for the announcement and we had to hold 10 minutes until I finally suggested that they just use a body mic.
Overall the show was good. We has some feedback issues due to the fact that the set was on a thrust stage so the microphones were downstage of the speakers, and I had a few late mic unmutes but all in all pretty good.
Tomorrow we perform in Winston Salem's Children's Theatre. We have 3 shows tomorrow and one on Saturday morning before we pack up and drive to Savannah for our day off.
Onward and Upward.
