1st Days of Hell Week

Currently listening to Stairway (and in mid-statement I saw a f*cking stinkbug crawling towards me on my bed....causing me to jump up and shriek) to Heaven. Tonight was my 2nd night of Hell Week in the preparation of The Mystery of Edwin Drood, by Charles Dickens. The rehearsals last 6 hours, from 6 pm to midnight. With finals upcoming, we will see how this new schedule works. My job as sound manager involves putting mic packs on the correct cast members. Wrap, batteries, condoms, wires (hair wires?! So difficult!), and changing the wires and mic packs at the correct times. I'm glad that I get to hang out backstage but I would really like to see the final production after so much time and work.
