I know you are probably tired of hearing about SNL by now, but I’m eating, sleeping, and dreaming SNL until Saturday night when it wraps. The good news is that I’m not working today or tomorrow so I’m much more relaxed now. I even snuck out for a few hours this afternoon to do some shopping. It was so much fun. I love drama, and I love SNL, but it will be nice to have my life back — until the next show anyway.
Saturday Night Life will be a blast. We’ve had lots of fun with the sketches, and I’m sure the audiences will enjoy it too! It premieres tomorrow night. Wish us luck.
I’ve uploaded more “behind the scenes” pictures in the “Photos” section for viewing. Additional pics will be available after the show. There are some surprises I don’t want to give away in advance.
We kicked off the final week of rehearsals for SNL today. The last week is known as “tech week” because it’s when the tech crews join the rehearsals. During tech week, we fine tune the performances, lighting, sound and multimedia. Needless to say, it can be a challenging week.
Rehearsals ran long tonight, and I was left with a large number of action items to complete before tomorrow. It’s 3 am now, so I’m cutting the blog short and sharing some special “behind the scenes” rehearsal pictures…enjoy!
The Stages are Set
Gary Peeking Out
The Church Lady and her Special Guest
The Roxbury Guys?
Our Favorite Creekwood Bible Church Board Members Are Back
Saturday Night Life premieres this Friday at 7:30, and the Spartan Cheerleaders showed up at ALC today to promote the event. Enjoy!
Afterwards, we concluded the “Game Time” sermon series with a tailgate party at the church. They grilled burgers and hotdogs, then everyone watched the Cowboys game together. How cool is that? I absolutely love my church!
Wow, we’re only 17 days away from the first performance! I spent the better part of the evening managing promotions, working on the press release, sending cast reminders and recruiting additional volunteers. It’s a lot of work, but it is completely worth it.
Before we know it, we’ll be performing, entertaining people and making them laugh. It’s so much fun. I’m getting really excited!
Unfortunately, the only Monday night game of the season fell on the same night as rehearsal for Saturday Night Life. Thank God for technology. We set the DVR and headed to rehearsal knowing we could watch the game later. Since many of the actors were also recording the game, we made sure that no one reported the score during rehearsal — we didn’t want to be spoiled before we got a chance to watch it.
SNL Rehearsals were fun; it was a good night even though we were missing a couple of actors. The sketches are coming along nicely, and some performances still provide laugh out loud moments even though we’ve seen them a number of times. It’s going to be a great show!
No one hung around after rehearsals were over. There was a mass exodus as soon as we dismissed. It was time to watch the game. The cool thing about watching the game on DVR is that you can fast forward all of the commercials and boring moments, not that there were many in this game.
The Cowboys played the Eagles, and they didn’t disappoint. It was an exciting game from start to finish. Dallas had a decent lead until Romo faltered and the Eagles scored 14 points in 14 seconds. Argh, not cool. From that moment onwards, the lead switched back and forth between the two teams. It was a high-scoring, nail-biting game.
In the last few minutes, the Cowboys took the lead and managed to hang onto it until the end. Whew, what a relief. We’re 2-0. Go Cowboys!
One of the funniest moments happened after the game. A female reporter was interviewing Tony Romo, and he mentioned his failure in the first half of the game. The reporter said, “You must be referring to the fumble in the end zone. What are you thinking when something like that happens?”
Tony adjusts his hat, smiles and responds, “Dang.”
