Tonight is QUIZ NIGHT!!! Lovingly put together by our DSM and co- writer Vicky!! I love the quiz night... It brings everyone together with teams mixed with crew, cast, creatives and FOH. And best of all... I've now secured myself on the team of crew Mother hen Liza and Mr Hairy chin himself, my chum Chris Tindall. Last year... Although we came second from last, we had a ball with tons of cheese and port. And this year will be no exception; a little late night, post show, trip to tesco last night saw me gathering our mixed bag of cheeses pleasures!
It's a fantastic idea that came about a few years ago to try and bridge the gap between everyone involved in the show, when the crew had very little to do onstage other than the changes, which of course the banter wasn't present between them and the actors. The tradition has continued and now Vicky has lots of helpers with the quizzing including a music round (and usually some terrible jokes) from PG, a picture round crafted by the computer and graphic wizard PJ and maybe a co-presenter or two.
As I've mentioned previously there's been quite a dramatic shake up this year at the Arnaud. We've lost a few old favourites from the crew, but of course have gained some great replacements. I'm sensing that the whole Guildford Panto experience many have come as a bit of a shock, so hopefully tonight with lots of banter, mixed teams and several crates of special brew.... We'll go from a newly united cast and crew to an indestructible one!! Unless of course we fight over the tie breaker!
We have our relaxed performance tomorrow, following on from the success of last years project, spearheaded by Nick White. This is for families who would normally avoid public performances due to their child's varying levels of ability and tolerance. For this performance we create a safe and laid back performance, which allows these families the chance to enjoy a day out together, without the fear or nervousness of disturbing anyone else. It was a great experience last year so I'm really looking forward to it... More on the results of that tomorrow.
Right.... Pour the Port McDuff!!
