Journal Entry
3/5/14, 5:57 PM, John Cranford Adams Playhouse
2- The sound of Stephanie (Scenic Charge) joking with Beja stage right, Sampson’s footsteps across the raked stage, the sound of Roni flogging the unpainted fruit cart
3- Deanna talking to Anna while they paint the apron, the sound of a drill from under the extension, the chatters of the run crew as they prepare for rehearsal.
4- The sound of my finger fiddling with the trigger on the screw gun, my heart racing as I try not to mess up the “nugget” which I’m countersinking,
5- The sound level here is very high, as everyone is preparing for the open dress rehearsal. Everyone has a task, and they are all racing to finish the final touches.
6- Busy
7- The drill whirring, my heart racing, Sampson’s footsteps, Roni’s flogging (I think that’s what it’s called)
