Totally against my norm I choose to be part of a production that has little to zero benefit to myself. A friend that I made in a play that I ran the tech for last semester told me about a play, "World Buffet" was in need of some tech help. Without warning I had signed myself up to the production and wait for the day I was needed.
The payoff came last night when the on the Opening night we were sold out and the crowd was a live with energy that only fueled the actors more.
"World Buffet" what is spacial about this play is the fact that it is a Black Night production. A Black Night productions is a show that plays during the nights that a Main production is off. Like Monday thru Wednesday. These Black Night productions usually are smashed together in under a month. That is crazy when you think about. A hundred plus pages of lines to memorize by eleven actors in three weeks!
After last night I have to hand it to them that they are a talented group of actors. They pull the production with a shockingly smooth production.
