So on Monday, they decided to give all the interns and staff a day off. This is kinda unheard of, and realy most of the shop still kept working and all the actors that they've hired in for this show who aren't interns were still working, so even this day off was still pretty busy at the shop. But, it was felt that it was needed, what with everyone tired and stressed and people getting sick. So far we've had multiple flu/colds, 1 sprained ankle, one torn miniskus? something like that in the knee, a couple of turned/strained ankles, bronchitous, strep throat, and one case of mono so bad it turned into hepetitous and that girl had to leave. Anyway, the plan was for everyone to go to the beach, so of course it rained, but at 7pm the rain stopped and the sun came out and myself and the costume shop grabbed the company car, went to the beach that's about 5 mins down the road, and swam for about an hour. It was great.
Two weeks ago Monday, they have a review show and someone else runs the board and does wardrobe so me and Emily both have the night off. We drove 1 1/2 hours to the atlantic ocean, just in time for the sunset, and got to play on the beach. Again for about an hour. Also, this beach, which is just about the tackiest little beach town ever, was having a seafood festival, which meant that the street was closed and there was live music, but I never ever saw one bit of seafood. Not even a seafood restraunt. Just lots of places that sold Fried Dough, and some Greek sandwitch shops. It was weird and hilarious.
So these pictures were taken on a little cheapo disbosable camera that we didn't care if it got sand or water on, so they are not the greatest quality. But it was really beautiful there. The pictures make it look cloudy but it wasn't, it was just very hazy. But really really gorgeous.
You can't really see them that well, but I kinda went crazy painting shoes for this show and these were my faves. I painted them to match the ties and belts everyone wears in this scene. Also, Hillary is a 5 time National Tap dancing champion. Which I am fond of challenging people to say without smiling. It's just a fun sentence!!
