Much to my surprise, since we had not done a full run-though, the show went really well. I’m very impressed with the way these kids stepped up to the plate. The girl playing Audrey, who is all of 13 years old, made me cry with her rendition of “Somewhere that’s Green.” She’s got an amazing voice and really owned the song. I was blown away.
I’m also exhausted since it’s the first time I’ve done the whole show here without stopping. The extra scene is killing me. Tomorrow we have a rehearsal and two performances. Heh. Should be fun. Oh, and I have to repair the control bar in Pod 4, which broke while I was performing. Joy.
Can you add a dryer vent hose and a small (quite) fan behind the pod to force fresh air in to you?

With rental puppets I do the minimal repairs necessary to perform. A fan and tube would require more thought than I’m willing to commit because of the movements that the puppet is required to do. It goes from horizontal to vertical so the back of the puppet becomes the bottom. I also have to stand up with it and walk.
