Opening Part II

Well,we are back up and running! The pony show has begun again in earnest. I spent 5 days in Minneapolis learning my tracks and then trucked off to Green Bay,where we spent a few days retooling the show somewhat and working the new people in. It's almost an entirely new cast - just Tim and Corinne from last year,as well as Arlee,who replaced me as Sew-n-So. The rest are all new. Well,new to me anyway. It's an interesting cast dynamic this year. Last year was pretty evenly split between men and women. Not so much this year. Just 3 guys w/12 girls. It's a VERY quiet dressing room! About half the crew is back from last year. I'm rooming w/Tim once again. We just had our 1st show here in Green Bay & I played Thistle Whistle. It was kind of surreal,especially being onstage in a different pony suit. Sometimes muscle memory would kick in and I would accidently start to do Sew-n-So's blocking.

We have a split week next week. Cedar Rapids IA and Minneapolis. I will be updating much more regularly than I did over break!
