The Big Lead-Up!!!

Ahh!! Our FIRST EVER professional show goes up TOMORROW!! Wooo! 
The last few days we've hardly been able to think about anything else! Getting our bios prepared, pestering everyone we know to come see it, remembering our blocking and lines; we've had a lot on our plates! 

Tuesday was a quiet day though. Our big outing was to IHOP at 9:00 at night after Han saw on facebook that it was national pancake day! (aka get a free stack of pancakes day) 
We each devoured an absolutely amazing stack of buttermilk pancake heaven, so good!

On Wednesday we had a big rehearsal to refresh our scenes. It was great to be back into it and we were happy to realize we had everything under control. It was all very surreal - it still sort of felt like Chambers' bootcamp! Wednesday was also exciting because Han went out on a date! Her first ever blind date at a cute cafe called Bricks and Scones and it was really fun and not nearly as intimidating as she'd feared haha.

Yesterday we set Greasy Grimey Gopher Guts aside, though, because Luce was performing her autodrama for the whole LACC theatre academy in TA (the class set aside for students to perform the best pieces from the previous semester). One really exciting thing was that it meant Han finally got the chance to see it! It was the first time Luce had been back since leaving, very strange. It was a bizarre mix of familiarity and separateness. Everyone welcomed Luce with open arms though! They were all so sweet and gracious - even grateful - about Lucy coming back to perform and it was great to see everyone/introduce people to Han. The performance went amazingly and it felt great to get the chance to perform on the big stage. Han was super proud and thought Luce did a rockin job, it was really very moving.. We said goodbye to the LACC crowd and headed home. Our binge watching of True Blood hasn't slowed and we're now on the last season!! Ahh! We had a pretty early night though in preparation for a big day today!

Today was tech/dress rehearsal for the show!!! Yeeeee!! It went so, so well and we're feeling really confident for tomorrow! The Lounge Theatre is super cool and it was such a buzz to be all back together again AND in the actual theatre we're performing in; it all suddenly seemed very real! Rehearsal couldn't have gone better and we laughed our heads off together, on stage and off, all day long!
We're extremely excited and a liiiittle nervous for tomorrow, but mostly we're feeling so lucky to be a part of such a fun, exciting show! Send good vibes and we'll update after we've made our Hollywood debut!
