Wait, did my theatre run a show for seven years and my stage manager still missed it? The final show of the week brought big revelations, organization hacks, and the glamour of industrial-sized laundry! You're going to want to see this behind-the-scenes theatre vlog! 🤩🎬
Hello, darlings, and welcome to my Sunday! The final curtain call of the week is always bittersweet—a perfect mix of satisfaction and sheer exhaustion. After yesterday’s sudden downpour (which was decidedly not a hurricane!), my bicycle was left at the theatre, so the journey today was a far more civilized subway ride. This quiet time is sacred; I used the commute to get ahead on writing captions for my daily Instagram uploads. A little productivity hack for anyone who struggles with social media scheduling! 📝🚇
Speaking of organization, I had a little genius moment with one of my Sellpy purchases. I pulled out a fantastic silver padded laptop pouch—it’s too small for a modern laptop, but perfect for repurposing! I'm now using it as a chic, padded organizer for all the delicate bits and pieces that tend to get lost in my massive work bag. It's a quick, easy, and stylish upcycling tip for finding new uses for second-hand items. Sustainable style means thinking creatively! ✨♻️
Once at the theatre, the main task was preparing for the final show. This means the highly technical, often hilarious process of figuring out the most efficient way to deliver costumes and preset props. This segment gives a real, honest look into the non-glamorous, but utterly crucial, work of a theatre professional. It's all about method and minimizing those frantic, last-minute rushes! 🏃♂️
The highlight of the day was catching up with our Stage Manager, Simon. I was trying to engage him on a piece of our theatre’s history: the legendary run of Phantom of the Opera, which apparently ran here for six or seven years—an absolutely unheard-of success in Swedish theatre! Imagine my shock when he revealed he wasn't even born when the show closed! It was a truly humbling moment about the passage of time and the vastness of theatre history. I tried to quiz him on some Phantom trivia, but sadly, the younger generation is lacking! It did, however, open up a lovely conversation about the legacy of big, long-running productions. 👻🎭
The final act of my week is often the least glamorous: costume laundry. After the final curtain, I stayed on to meticulously handle the week's worth of theatrical garments. It's a surprisingly soothing, grounding end to a busy seven days. I show you the industrial washing machines and the sheer volume of clothes we have to clean. A fascinating peek behind the real magic of the theatre! 🧺
