More A Christmas Carol Happenings

Friday 16:
Today there were like 7 people sick.  So everyone had to move up to fill in the parts.  Stacey, who usually does the poulterer lines (I am a poulterer too but I'm just an assistant and don't have any lines) took the park of Ghost of Christmas Past.  (Which is a very large part.)  So I moved up to take the poulterer lines.  It was so super scary.  During my normal costume change, I had to get a mic on too.  And I've never worn or used a mic before.  I ended up running to the stage, but I got out there at about the right time.  I took my book out in my chicken basket.  When I walked off stage, Gavin was right there and I gave him this "I don't know" kind of look.  I don't know if he noticed though.
Saturday 17:
Matinee:
We got Sydney B. to come over and come to the matinee with Janessa.  I got to be the poulterer again so that was cool so they could see me in that role.  They told me that my mic was off but they could still hear me.  That's pretty sweet, but I'm sad that my mic was off.
At the beginning of the second act I was sitting backstage.  When I started to stand up, my shoe made this big squeek.  It was really awful.  And Sherilyn was sitting right next to me.
Evening show:
Gavin told me that I did a good job with the poulterer part.  That makes me so happy.  He wasn't there for the matinee when I did the poulterer part so he was referring to the first time I did it on Friday.  He couldn't see my acting because he was backstage, but I think he was just happy that I was loud enough.  He was worried that I would be my quiet self because he told me to be loud or the mic wouldn't even pick me up at the cast meeting before the first time I did the part.  I was so happy to know that he approved.  It was awful seeing him and not knowing what he thought.
Near the end of the show I was so scared of getting sick.  There were so many sick people around--pneumonia, colds, flus, and stuff that we don't even know it's name.  I was hand sanitizing every few minutes.
Mon. 19:
We had a full house.  Most people liked it but I didn't really.  It made it so hot.  I about died when I had to stand there forever onstage as a monk. 
Bryce (Scrooge) is way too nice.  He went around at cast meeting and gave everyone a gift.  I got a Ten Virgins lamp.  It is so cute.
Tuesday 20:
Today Gavin asked me to give the word.  It ended up being "I don't wanna say anything" becuase that's what I was thinking.  I knew that if I said "I don't know" they would use that so I sat there for a long time before I said "I don't wanna say anything".  Oh well.  What did he expect?
I did the poulterer part again and I screwed up my lines.  I said "Something else then?" twice.  I don't think the audience noticed because I repeated the lines when I was supposed to say "Coupla chicken legs?" and it was after Tiny Tim sung this little solo thingy.  Still, we were filming the show and that's going to bug me forever.
Wednesday 21:
I was the poulterer again and I got my lines correct and guess what? They re-filmed it! The cameraman re-filmed it because his microphones were picking up noises from backstage.  How awful.  But it bought me a second chance.  I heard that he is going to splice the recordings together so hopefully he notices that my lines were correct on the second night.
The monks who bring in the large coffin during the graveyard scene tried to put it next to me, not even close to the center of the stage.  It was really really annoying.
Thursday 22:
I was the poulterer again and I got my lines correct. Yay! Tomorrow is closing night... Buh.  I'm going to miss the show so so very much.
