Day Eighteen: Driving

Today, we drove. That's it. Well, our bus driver, Fred, drove as we slept, chatted, watched movies - A Goofy Movie, Newsies, Enchanted - and whatever else to keep entertained. We did have a lunch, ice cream, and dinner stop on the way. Our destination was Nauvoo. I settled in our condos at 8pm. The rest of the night was our own time in the condos. Our trip to the city of Nauvoo will begin tomorrow.

Stagehands have astonishing learning curves. It's not unusual for stage crews to have trucks full of unknown scenery arrive at a theatre on Monday, which we need to assemble and understand to open a show we've never seen before... on Tuesday night.

Most people, if confronted with such a task, would flatly say it was impossible.

Stagehands find ways to make it possible. We learn quickly, we draw upon years of experience, skills and training, and (all too often) we drink lots of coffee and work all night.

I've had one longstanding handicap in my career as a stagehand. I don't drink coffee.
