That 70s Show!

So tonight was the Opening and Closing performance of the long-awaited "Paul Lynde 1976 Halloween Special" at the Magnet Theater!

We played to an almost sold-out audience and I think that considering the short amount of time in which it was written and conceived, and given the limited number of rehearsals - it was carried off quite well! The audience seemed delighted by the quirky dialogue and 70s commercial breaks as well as all of the musical numbers - of which there were quite a few.

I missed a cross during my scene as Charo with Ritchie Cunningham, and I ended up improvising a line or two here and there in my song "Love Will Keep Us Together" - but thankfully I still managed to keep it together.

It was a wild and crazy show - and I hope to be apart of more just like them. I loved how so many of us in the community were able to come together for this project. I need to write something like this!

My only real regret is that we didn't get to spend much time with this show at all. I think that had we gotten an extended run, we would have found so much more that we could have done with it. I hope that this is only the beginning.
