Gosh darn it!  I thought we were through with this rehearsal space malarky, but turns out, nope.  We tried to book Rough House out for our Wednesday rehos but no go.  They had people already booked in them.  DANG IT!  So we are running out of choices.  I contacted the Annoyance and they have space, but it is pretty pricey.  Alaina Hoffman (plays Jennifer), suggested a place called the Solarium in Rodgers Parks.  So I sent them an email to see what's up.
I am building part of the set this weekend with our set designer Jim Vozzella.  I'm glad part of it is getting done early in the game, but I am started to get a bit overwhelmed with the financial side of things.  The set, rehearsal space, liability insurance, and costumes are all hitting at once.  Plus Chuck is paying the singers on the boat to record the music, an unanticipated expense. <sigh>
It is so clear to me why people don't produce their own shows.  I send out into the universe a vision of full houses and breaking even.
