Work

So these past few weeks have been pretty busy at work. We have had at least 730 people for our evening shows and around 300 for the afternoon shows. But there has been a few crazy nights as well.

The first crazy night we had was the opening night of Comedy of Errors, there was about 3 minutes left in the show and one of the stage crew members broke a big plate glass window which we had to get cleaned up right away so patrons wouldn't walk in the glass and all that fun stuff, the second crazy night happened just this last Saturday, I was standing at my post waiting for the free pre-show to end when one of the girls I work with needed help dealing with 2 stray dogs that were running around the area. I had to catch the bigger of the two dogs times because he broke a leash and escaped our make shift kennel. That same night we had a man with a .22 pistol in his pants and he was trying to get into the outdoor theater so we all had to look for him and make sure the gun didn't make it into the theater, for obvious reasons, we were able to find him and take his gun from him for the night and hold it in our office.

I went on a hike this last Saturday as well on a trail up Kanarraville canyon. It was a blast, we had to walk through a river almost the entire time and climb up a couple of water falls and we got soaking wet but it was well worth the blisters, the cuts,and the cold. It was very beautiful country and was a really fun hike.

Off to swim now,

That has been my last few weeks at work for everyone, the weather down here is extremely hot but really nice.

Mini-update

So the weather here in Cedar has been great but the other night while I was at work it started to rain and it wasn't just a sprinkle, it was just a straight downpour. We had to move the greenshow, the free show that is held out in front of the Adams Theater, inside along with the first act of Henry V. I volunteered to stay outside and help people get inside and get them pointed in the right direction. Well there was a tour bus full of elderly people that had come to see the show so I and my roommate helped the bus driver pull up out of the water, watch the video, so the people wouldn't slip and we helped them get over to the show. At one point or I should say several, I was hoping from the sidewalk to the street to help people cross the gutter and a few times I did get wet from almost slipping or the water splashing. Well I was helping this gentleman across the gutter and he had a bum leg and the best way for me to help him was to just put my foot in the gutter. I know no big deal but after you see the video you will understand. I got soaking wet, but got him across ok. After that I had to help set up rainstage, where everything that was outside goes inside, this included helping angry patrons and stocking playbills. After the play started the rain pretty much cleared up and the rest of the night went pretty smooth. I also got this cool picture of the Randall theater on my phone.
