Opening at the Birch today. Things went well today. Didn't have to do anything until the show, so I was able to relax.

After my bagel and italian soda from the coffee shop (Claire de Lune) across the street, I got ready with plenty of time. Things are cramped backstage at the Birch, so I had to find a nook to change in. In Montana, it was a laundry room. At the Birch, I am changing in a shower.

For some reason, I felt a little more sinister today as Herr Drosselmeyer, so I just went with it. I think it was just a little extra energy. Oh well, matinee tomorrow.
