They call it Moving Day. The day we were able to finally rehearse on the stage where we'll be performing. We've been rehearsing at the community center, on a different stage, but it's "go time" now. It's almost like re-doing the whole thing. Blocking needs to be tweaked. Props and sets don't fit like they should. It even sounds different. But oh, what a lovely place to be moved to. The Dothan Opera House was built in 1915. 100 yrs old this year.

It's a small and intimate theater. Smaller than the Capitol theater in SLC, but the three balconies give it the same feeling. Nervous anticipation, that's the only way I can describe how I feel today. There are no pictures of Ben and his "gang" today because they were all too busy exploring all the nooks and crannies of this new place. A few dress rehearsals to go and then it's the real thing. We. Can't. Wait.
When the tittle of this post popped up I was super excited cause I thought for a second you were surprising us with a move..... but I guess an amazing production is alright too.
