Lindbergh’s Rehearsal Log
Day: 9
Weather:
Hours of rehearsal: 63
Days until first preview: 22
Number of props used in the show (so far): 124

*Note: This week’s rehearsal got pretty busy and so I fell a little bit behind on the log blog, and for this I apologize. But with the addition of these three entries, I will be caught up and you will be up to date! Don’t miss the Wright Brothers competition as part of Day: 11.

*Note: I was chatting in rehearsal today and mentioned to one of my cast mates that I’m red/green colorblind. Usually when I mention this fact to people they start pointing at every red and green thing in sight and asking me what color it is. I laugh when people point to something red or green and say “So, can you see this?” As if I’ve somehow managed to live my life only seeing half the things in the world and struggling to find those that have been rendered invisible by my colorblindness. On this particular day, however, that was not the case. However, it was brought up that I wouldn’t actually be allowed to fly a plane. And its true, colorblind people aren’t allowed to fly planes. As part of your pilot’s license testing, you have to be able to identify colors of signal lights, flares and map symbols. So I guess I won’t be giving up acting to become a pilot!
