The pattern. See if you can get it!

Fortunately I got Lysistrata into a working order in a timely way

Unfortunately I didn't get a strong a turn out at the auditions as I'd have hoped

Fortunately the calibre of the people I saw was very high, and I found a Lysistrata

Unfortunatley after accepting the role, she pulled out of the show

Fortunately the other roles were under control and the new Lysistrata was going to be great

Unfortunately I then lost a chorus member

Fortunately re-juggling the cast was easy

Unfortunately I heard another one of my cast members (deservingly) got cast as Lady MacBeth in another show.

Fortunately she's sticking it out.

Unfortunately this will further complicate scheduling.

Fortunately my mentor Melanie Beddie used the word 'Terrific' in an email she sent to me after reading the script. This was a surprise, I had convinced myself it sucked.

Unfortunately I've now lost one of the boys. This is worse than losing one of the girls, becuase there's less of them.

Fortunately I can reprise my role as the Spartan ambassador if neccessary.

Unfortunately this is hard (he he he hard).

Fortunately I have my health!

It's these moments that make me wonder why I bother....

Because it's worth it afterwards. The Bacchae, The Clouds, Helen, they all had their seemingly insurmountable problems. You got through them. You'll get through this. In fact, you not only got through them, but made wonderful, unique and high quality theatre.

We'll work it out.

I guess if people have to drop out it's better if they do it now rather than in a couple of weeks. But it would be better if people didn't drop out at all :(

We'll be 'right!

It wouldn't be an omniprop play without the director acting in it... It will be awesome Seamus and well worth the drama!

I'd offer, but a) I suck and b) I'm pretty much tied down with work/bands.

Mostly a), though.

It sounds like a bit a roller-coaster. But you'll pull through! Omniprop always does! And it'll be great!

Man. And I haven't even got to a rehearsal yet. Which reminds me - where are they?! Please say somewhere on campus... Old Quad? Something on my schedule says Old Quad. I like that idea...

Nup, in Richmond! 1 Albert Street Richmond! That's our default location. It's off Church Street, near the corner of Swan.

NB NOT (and I say again NOT) Albert street East Melbourne.

Damn it. damn damn damn

Okay, I'll work something out...
