My god, you people have babies.
I have no idea why that's so weird tonight.
I need to go to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I saw cargo gauchos in a store window the other day.
what is "standard" rehearsal procedure
Sophia, in my experience professional theatres use costumes for 10 of 12 tech rehearsals more often than not. Really, it's necessary for lighting as much as anything else. And tech includes timing/working quick changes. If rehearsals hit a point where it's just fixing problem spots then only costume pieces needed for the action/quick changes are used. (Steppenwolf, Goodman) Coats and things that are part of the action are used in rehearsal well before tech.
It seems to be academic situations where I run into the "tech rehearsal then dress rehearsal and never the twain shall meet" approach. This makes sense when you only have 3 hours to tech the show, but if you're doing 10 of 12's I don't get that.
the artisitic director, the production manager and the director seem flabbergasted that we would even consider trying to tech in costumes
As a lighting designer, I hate teching with actors in white t-shirts or whatever else they may show up in.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Steph, for insomnia attacks like that, I try to spend at least some time in bed doing relaxation breathing. Even if it doesn't put me to sleep, at least my body gets some benefit out of it. Hope you did manage to get to sleep, eventually!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks for the info aurelia-- I am glad to hear from a lighting designer! (and it is an academic setting).
I am wondering if part of the reluctance in an academic setting is that most of them I have been in have a "part-time" costume staff, so they don't want them to have to come in on the weekends?

information libertarian
When I was a student in high school doing plays, we always did a tech with important costume pieces (shoes, hats, etc.) and quick changes included. Even the Q to Q included this stuff.
I found out today that my employers' health insurance will cover an abortion for your dependent teenager if she gets pregnant, but won't cover prenatal care and delivery if she decides to have the child. This just seems weird to me - does anybody know about their employer policy, or would you be willing to look? I wonder if it's industry standard or my employer being butt-headed.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Plei, I have a request; please, oh please put up the 'angsty' one of Lily where she is facing right and her face is shadowed in a very gothy way. The House of reason needs its dose of Goth-Lily!
I shall put the request in to the photomaster!
(I think it's in the queue of to-do pictures.)

flea, it might be tied into your state's insurance regulations or laws. Are teens who give birth automatically emancipated, in your state?
