I made my follow spot (a.k.a. spotlight) debut at today's cue-to-cue for Blood Brothers. Much of the evening was pretty boring, of course, but listening to the headset gave me new insight into the processes of lighting and stage management. And the times when the follow spot was used were actually pretty exciting, having to get ready within a couple seconds of either hearing a cue or (more frequently) happening to notice that the light was on and then trying to figure out where to put it. I'm glad to be doing something in the show.

Last Sunday, I went to Toronto with the Kingston Opera Guild to see the COC's Wozzeck. Pretty much everything about it was fantastic, just like the reviews said. I was duly impressed by Pavlo Hunka's acting and even singing ability despite the fact that he had laryngitis.

I'm tired and I have to [try at least to] get up in time to sing in church tomorrow.
