Just when I thought that I would not get involved with the spring musical, Oklahoma, I got asked to run sound for opening weekend. Of course I said yes. When I think about it, boy was that a close call, I almost had to pay to see the show, gasp!

Anyway I have enjoyed (more or less) the rehearsals. Oklahoma is like many other musicals in that it has a rather forgettable story, but fun music. There are some dance sequences that are fun and I imagine with a bigger cast and a bigger stage (Little Theatre is very small for a musical) they would be much better.

My role as a sound guy isn’t very demanding, it is fun, however to be around my theatre friends. I haven’t been able to hang out with them like usual this semester. Hmmm, I guess not being in the cast does that.

The only downside of agreeing to do this is that it has really screwed up this week as far as homework goes. It was supposed to be a relaxing week with lots of extra time to relax and work ahead. Spending 3 ½ to 4 hours in rehearsal sort of puts a crimp on everything else. Oh, well I’ll get it all done somehow.

So, I guess I’ll do some homework now.
