  • Murphy's Law strikes again. I have been committed to doing the lights and sound for Yellow Fever, and I knew that the director had asked me to be an understudy for one of the parts, but as of yesterday, I may have to take on the role. That means that the director will hopefully be able to find someone to handle the tech for ths show. The primary character has a hernia and has to go into surgery on Monday. If that weren't bad enough, the doctor told him to stop taking the Vicodin that he had prescribed previously. That equates to a lot of pain.


    As a result. I am cramming to try to get these lines straight. I have a gist of what happens in the scenes, so that should help me, as opposed to someone who does not have any prior knowledge of the play. Even if I don't get the lines quite right, at least I may be able to make up for it by doing some action that will push the plotline along. Showtime is at 8:00 PM tonight. Can I do it? Well, I've always said, "If you can think it, you can do it."
