I love the franticness of the beginning of rehearsals.

People rushing to get to the theater on time - in coats and hat, faces red, gobbling up their dinner and they head to the dressing room to either drop off their stuff or suit up for a show.

It's fun - it's thrilling to see who will show up on time, early or late.

And somehow, no matter how early I get there, someone always manages to have the coffee pot going :)
