Blind Prophecy

Fordham Follies is tonight and tomorrow. I’m both excited and a bit nervous. I know it’s a silly skit show making fun of law school, but we’ve worked really hard and I think it’s also a good show with a lot of talented people doing interesting things.

We had 7 posters for the show this year (featuring the faces of faculty photoshopped onto pop culture references) and I designed 4 of them. Which one of my poster designs is your favorite?:

I know New York is a long trip for the majority of my bloggy friends, so I’ll try to point you to some video clips as soon as possible.

It has been a delightful experience putting together a show again, hanging out with people who instinctively think the same thing I do when someone working with the penal system refers to cell block 6. Hamming it up backstage. Notes from directors that will only ever make sense to this cast (“bigger and armier”). Silly costumes and props and sight gags.

Last night’s tech was a bit of a disaster (music cutting out mid-song, a sound effect cue that kept randomly appearing at the beginning of unrelated scenes, the addition of a huge and unmovable set piece in the middle of our backstage area for an undergraduate show that won’t open until after Easter, etc), but that’s usually a good sign that opening night will be phenomenal.

Wish me luck a broken leg!
