It's hard to believe A Man for All Seasons is done. Finito. No more. The show ran great! We had wonderful audiences for all four shows, and aside from a small technical mishap or two, the performances went off without a hitch. Strike, which followed Saturday night's performance, was highly efficient. Although it seems impossible, the set from A Man for All Seasons is now completely gone. All the various costumes and props are back in their places, and the stage is clear once more. Crazy.
This week, I read about closing a show in my textbook. The section most relevant to me was on strike, which can help act as emotional closure for the cast at the end of the play experience. Other sections in the book which were not so applicable were on how to manage a show as it moves on tour from one city to another. In closing and touring, as with all other aspects of stage management, it is important to be organized and ahead of the game as much as possible.
It seems impossible, but now it's time for me to focus on my senior show. Scary, but exciting... :)
