There’s this one part of Lieutenant of Inishmore where one of the actors is hung upside down from his feet. The production team is dealing with how to make that magic happen on stage, but we wanted the actor to be able to get used to doing the scene while upside down in rehearsal. That makes sense, right? He has to act, and he’s upside down,

and he has to do an entire scene. So we got this inversion table, which is actually something used by people who feel they can benefit somehow from being upside down but don’t want to or can’t do it on their own arm strength (like you would in yoga). And BJ, being a conscientious director, felt like he had to try it out first. This photo demonstrates what I saw when I walked into work on Tuesday. I love my job: sometimes you come to work and your boss is upside down and happy about it. BJ liked being upside down. Said it felt good. I will have to take his word for it, because I am NOT going to try it out.
