Yes, I’m Still Talking About That Play

Posted on August 13, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Can I make my Lame Post Friday post on Friday? Well, I have five hours till midnight (although my WordPress timestamp may disagree), but the sad fact is, I got nuthin’. The happy fact is, my headache finally went away. I guess I could just continue my theme of All Love’s Labour’s Lost All The Time. Can I think of anything new to say about it? We shall see.

The King and his guys.

In the spirit of Waste Not, Want Not, I append another rehearsal shot. I hope some friends take pictures of the performance that I can steal.

I was just looking over my lines again. I had meant to study them while on breaks at work, but my headache interfered. Other days I have recited my speeches in my head while I worked (it is the sort of job where you can do that) but had not the brain power for such activities today (cue unkind remarks about my usual lack of brain power).

She’s telling him a thing or two, I think.

I am gradually internalizing the fact that tomorrow is Opening Performance. I will soon start to get all nervous about remembering all my costumes and props. My lines? Truth be known, I rarely forget them. Still, it could happen. I will look them over again.

In the meantime, I am over 200 words. Score! And Happy Friday, everyone.

Once again Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare, presented by LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 13 and 14 at 1 p.m. at Benton’s Landing in Little Falls, NY. Admission is free.

Thursday? Friday? Hey, It’s a Post

Posted on August 12, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I have been so good about making my blog post on the day indicated. I have at worst resorted to a Post-Rehearsal Post. But here I sit Thursday evening, wondering exactly how bad it would be to make my Non-Sequitur Thursday post on Friday morning. Oh, I understand it would be bad. But would it be terrible? Would it be catastrophic?

Obviously it would not. I have done it many times. But it is not my favorite thing to do. I can only say it is better than not posting at all. Which I have done.

Where was I? Ah yes, trying to make at least a Non-Sequitur Thursday Post.

Regal, yes?

I quickly throw in a picture from 2017, to make for a Throwback Thursday Post. Oh yeah, it is also All Love’s Labour’s Lost All The Time, because this is a shot from a previous offering from LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company. The actor is in this year’s offering, but he does not wear this costume.

Now it is Friday morning and I am sipping coffee and trying to finish this post despite the headache that came to me during the night. Yes, I just had to throw in that little whine. Judge me if you are so inclined.

However, that useless little paragraph got me over 200 words. I say that is OK for a Non-Sequitur Thursday Post. I’ll just throw in one more picture of Love’s Labour’s Lost, because, you know, All The Time.

Similar to the last one I shared, but a little different.

Once again, Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare will be presented by LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company Saturday and Sunday August 13 and 14 at 1 p.m. at Benton’s Landing in Little Falls, NY, part of Little Falls Canal Celebration. Admission is free.

Labouring Over Tired Tuesday

Posted on August 10, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Hello and welcome to another Post-Rehearsal Post. There will not be many more of these. For one reason, we do not have many more rehearsals. Yikes! Opening Performance is in just four days!

Regular readers know I am talking about Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare, being staged by LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company as part of Little Falls Canal Celebration this weekend. I just got back from a dress rehearsal. I brought my Tablet and took a few pictures.

It was hard to get one where everybody showed.

I will need to work on getting a few shots of the scenes I am in. And maybe get a few staged shots to really show the costumes.

Another funny scene.

I am still laughing out loud over some of the bits in this play. I have some very funny castmates.

This was an earlier scene. Should I have gone in order?

I guess I do not have a whole lot else to say about rehearsal. I am going to say that is OK for a Tired Tuesday Post. For one reason, I want to go to bed NOW.

I will probably spread my pictures out over a few posts. After all, it is All Love’s Labour’s Lost All The Time.

Once again, performances are at Benton’s Landing in Little Falls, NY Saturday and Sunday, August 13 and 14 at 1 p.m.

Post-Rehearsal Monster?

Posted on August 9, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Well, I missed making a Pre-Rehearsal Post, but I hope to come up with something before heading off to bed. I am also hoping that by taking time to make a blog post, the fan I just put in my bedroom window will have time to cool that room off somewhat. It seemed a little cooler outdoors than previously. Oh, I know, I know, it could be a lot worse. At least we have fans and electricity to run them. I am not a complete ingrate.

Totally me. In more ways than one.

Full disclosure: I tend to be dramatic about many things, not just the heat. As regular readers know, theatre is my life! We had a pretty good rehearsal earlier. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures. I suppose I have not shared all I took at an earlier rehearsal. Unfortunately, they are on my Tablet, and I am on my laptop (dining room table top, as regular readers may recall) (I always feel I have to reiterate these things, like saying I am pecking in one letter at a time with the stylus when I am on the Tablet. I hope my readers do not find it tiresome).

I guess she told him!

There! I got on the Tablet and found one I like. I need to take some more rehearsal pictures. Perhaps tomorrow, when we will be in costume. I hope I have time to press my Rosaline dress. It is a little wrinkly. It is OK if my Jacquenetta outfit is a little rough; she is, after all, a base wench.

In the meantime, I am over 250 words. I find that respectable, especially for a Monstrous Monday (since I included the Wicked Witch of the West, I think we can count this as a Monstrous Monday post). I will just mention once again that my rehearsal was for Love’s Labour’s Lost by William Shakespeare, being presented by LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company, Saturday and Sunday, August 13 and 14, 1 p.m., at Benton’s Landing, Little Falls as part of Little Falls Canal Celebration. Admission is free!
