ian cleansed the rehearsal cast while listening to tracy chapman

.

good news. so i was wondering what has happened to tracy chapman. supposedly according to a 2004 article i read, she is in the studio right now working on her new album.

so i got a cast on now. i cant remember if i mentionec or not that i fractured the radial head if my elbow. i like the cast alot better than the splint. its cool though cuz everyone can sign it. jerry was the firt to sign it.

dress rehearsals for cleansed were wednesday and thursday. liss and i watched the show during both and took notes on the makeup. it went really well. im learning alot. it is a fantastic cast. my crew is great. on the first dress, we had one girl quit after liss duscussed her renderings which included information about the content of the play. the girl said it went against her belief system and she wanted nothing to do with the play.i understand and respect her because that is her conviction but in the real world that could be the difference whether you eat and pay rent or not. you have to distance yourself from your work. the makeup designer is baptist too but she did the show anyways. i love the way this show ends. the music in the play is great. ill talk more about that later. i didnt know this til now but the playwright is already dead. 1971-1999. only 28 years old. wow.
