Yesterday, BJ called me at my desk from the rehearsal room downstairs and asked me to come down to watch the “stumble-through,”which is BJ’s way of saying a “run-through” in the very early stages. So, I was watching rehearsal, and we’re in scene 3 or 4 and he starts meowing.
I gave him a look, but he was intent on meowing, so he didn’t notice all the looks I was shooting his way as he continued meowing intermittently. It turns out that he was putting in the meows where they will be later, when the sound design is in place. If BJ is doing the meowing in rehearsals, apparently, the stage manager will know when and how to call the cues when we get to tech.
It just cracked me up. Not everyone gets to sit next to a meowing boss. It’s not a part of most people’s jobs.
It’s a bonus feature of mine.
