Dressing Room Madness
Posted on by

March 4, 7pm, Adams Playhouse dressing room

1) Farthest sounds: People (Sampson?) yelling orders upstairs from the stage. Sam Kamelhar handling the long chain on the ladder leading to the trapdoor.

2) Medium range: Laughter in the neighboring dressing room. Jean being interviewed for the Chronicle outside the door. The sink running, or a toilet flushing.

3) Dressing room banter. Tom spraying his hair white, and Jordan unzipping/unbuttoning his street clothes to get into costumes. The clanging of the gold jewelry I wear for Richard. Clothes hangers being pushed aside on the rack.

Sound level remains pretty consistent and buzzing. It has the energy of excited people trying to not give over to nerves.

One-word description: Buzzing.

Three sounds: Orders from upstairs, hairspray, handling of clothing
