It's one thing after another with this show.

We never did fully complete the cast, which started off with me being drafted into the lead role, only adding to my overall stress level.
Then three cast members dropped out. We managed to fill 2 of those roles recently, but one can't be there opening weekend, so the director has to fill in for him. Another one of our leads can't be there closing weekend, so we had someone else lined up to fill in. Now our fill-in has dropped out so we need to find someone else.

Then yesterday I found out the theater company that was going to loan us their lavalier mikes can't let us have them until after opening weekend, so we have to scramble for mikes now for our opening.

The guy who is supposed to be building our props has not been heard from except to say he hasn't given it any thought yet, and he'll get to it next week.

I'm on the third director, as the first two dropped out, the second only a few weeks away from auditions.

I keep thinking: is it something I'm doing wrong here? What is going on with this show? By the time it is finally up and running all this will be forgotten about, but meanwhile I'm not sleeping and still trying to learn my lines.

I hope it's all worth it.
