#5 Stressing Time

Bump in is on this Sunday 10am-1pm.

I went home on the weekend and scavenged anything I thought was Mexican or bar like. I got some American number plates, some ponchos that are actually from Mexico that could be used to cover the couches or as wall hangings or floor mat, some old war time helmets that can be used to cover the walls and some chillies and peppers that I have varnished with PVA glue so they don’t go off on the outside keeping their shinny fresh appearance.

Belinda and Michaela have received the paint.

THINGS TO DO:
* Paint undercoat on flats (wednesday 25th)
*Paint the flats our yellow and blue colours
* Paint on stencil, add picture rail
* Cut blinds to size and lacquer with Scots black lacquer (Sam’s tools at Gareth’s house with Laura)
* Bump in and set dress

I also have sent an email to Laura Murrel with my ideas for the costumes. They can be altered by the actors, most of the costumes will be the actors own clothes I am essentially there just to make sure there is some unity in the costumes and no WHITE SHIRTS. I also need to get into the costume shed and collect a few items just in case. There will be 4-6 extras in the show, needing black clothing ie for the bar tender and waitress. I will collect a few costumes and put them on a rack ready for Sunday.

I am still a little skeptical about our theme and am not sure how the set dressing will work out. It will be good to see it realized on Sunday.

The next few days are going to be hectic, a lot of painting needs to be done. However we are a talented bunch and I know we will be awesome.
