Tour-de-force

I wrote a blog last week, but it was too long, and I felt like I had to keep writing in code so as not to give away anything in the play.  So, here's a quick tl;dr: -Thought the other shoe fell when we lost our set builder and Stage Manager just before tech. -Suzanne Dean texted me that she was coming down to get our set built.
