Fridays the 8th’s Call time

Everyone showed up on time. This was not the case the first weekend. The first weekdend we had a real struggle with a person showing up severly late. When in production if you are crew or cast showing up 10 minutes is not a big deal, showing up an hour to 2 or 3 hours late kills the spirit of even the happiest of productions.
How the day began.
The day started off by picking up all of the heavy equipment then I took the heavy equipment to Theatre Puget Sound to set up. First I paid for Parking.
Ok so I take all of this heavy equipment up to the studio I rented. Flash Back……
ME” I need a room to shoot a hospital scene in do you have a quiet one.”
Admin” Oh yes, yes we do”

So back to my story I get all of the equipment set up in the room and this is the part you will not believe. You will think this is a cheesy attempt at being funny. I am keeping a journal and these events are true. I look at the calendar and next to my quiet room scheduled at the exact same time is “Mexican Fiesta Folk Dancing” Oh …..My…..
The office is closed and I am screwed.
Ok if some people are walking down the hall and talking no biggiie that works into the background like she is in a hospital. If someone yells even better. Mexican Fiesta Folk Dancing does not work in the least. Maybe Russian Tap Dancing or Australian clog Dancing or even 80’s break dancing. But Mexican FIESTA folk dancing. No this will not do.
