All the actors have been working very hard. I am especially proud of Scott R and Annie H, the leads who have the bulk of the lines. I have two very clever and committed assistant directors who have managed to catch a vision for the production and are doing tremendous things to make this a meaningful and entertaining evening. The kitchen crew goes into hyper-drive this morning putting together a wonderful menu.
The only downer is worry about the weather. Early predictions had shown rain for Saturday. Throughout the week, that has been pushed further and further out. This morning the word is "rain, sleet and/or freezing rain on Sunday." We have a Plan B, but it's not nearly as neat as the original. The original location for the outdoor scene is thoroughly saturated with rain from the soakings we've had last month and this. So we were actually already on Plan B with an alternate place to have the crowd stand for the final scene. Looks like we won't have to worry about being outside at all. I think the last time I did this show I was worried about it being too warm for the actors in all their costume layers (that was in Richmond)!
Notes to know: we have a "real baby" to be the infant Jesus, Larkin A, granddaughter of our own Ruby W. Plus we have a miniature donkey, and it's yearling offspring.
