It’s Laundry Day in Poplar Bluff, MO, so finally I’m going to post some of my favorite photos from the tour thus far. I’ve been saving them, and as you will see, I’ve been procrastinating too long!
From the Fall Tour
Meaghan (ASM) and Tim (Sound Supervisor) are the wall-holders for the R&J load-out from Tucson
I really like this picture of Olivia (our former truck boss) dancing on the ramp during load-out in Tucson
Also from Tucson, Tim, Olivia and Mariela (Wardrobe Supervisor) sit in the sun outside the stage door.
One more of Tucson, where we came across an abandoned lot with a creepy abandoned stroller sitting in the middle of it.
From the Guthrie (tech & rehearsal)
When the truck arrived at the Guthrie, Daniel had everything labeled to indicate whether it should be unloaded. He took this opportunity to continue to rag on me about the weight of my workbox.
Tech tables. Mine is closest to the stage, followed by the director's table, followed by sound (house right) and lighting (house left)
I made a sign in the hopes that I wouldn't have to climb over people every time I wanted to get up. It kinda worked.
The view from my tech table (this was after I moved further up in the house)
This cracked me up. This is the label on the rail for our upstage black drop.
After we finished tech on the day of our first performance, we took a group photo of cast, (some) crew and creative team. I'm on the bottom row on the right.
At the Guthrie (During the Run)
The R&J set in storage upstage during the run of Comedy.

My favorite use for the Comedy set: making a desk out of the Pelican cases that act as counterweights for the towers.
The preset for Comedy, behind the curtain.

I had a monitor showing the SFX screen at my calling desk. One night I was like, ha, I thought for a minute that cue description said 'peeing!' Of course, given our show, it DOES say 'peeing!'
And the most important thing that happened to me in my time in Minneapolis, I finally got to go to nearby sushi restaurant Wasabi, where my martini was on fire!
From Earlier this Week
The sun sets in Brainerd, MN as seen from our bus.
